CLEVELAND, Ohio - On the wintry, night-time streets of Akron, fingers of sleet raked a gleaming black SUV. The setting was in a commercial about how the two NBA players folded into rear seats had discovered their love of the game.
Golden State's Kevin Durant allowed as how he and the other passenger, Akron's most famous native son, the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James, were the "two best".
He meant NBA players, and any given game-changers, as well as opposing franchise wish list toppers.
The two best had a memorable matchup in the third game of the 2018 NBA Finals on Wednesday night at The Q.
