The Warriors sure are fun to watch when one of their superstars goes crazy. Kevin Durant put on a show to remember in the first half of last night’s series-clinching win for the Warriors, scoring 38 points, tying Charles Barkley for the most points in the first half of a game, and falling just one point short of Sleepy Floyd’s memorable and exhilarating 39 points scored in the second half of game 4 against Magic Johnson’s Lakers in the second round of the 1987 Western Conference Semifinals. In a half where the Clippers grabbed the early lead, the Warriors climbed back in the game by the end of the first quarter on the shoulders of Durant.
