Stephen Curry made just one 3-pointer, albeit in a clutch situation, but the Golden State Warriors were still able to take a stranglehold on the NBA Finals behind a 110-102 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3. Kevin Durant poured in a game-high and career playoff-high 43 points.
Durant’s final points came on a 3-pointer that was shot a few feet back from the spot he pulled up from in Game 3 of last year’s Finals. Like in 2017, the 3-pointer was essentially a dagger. It put the Cavaliers in a 106-100 deficit with 49.8 seconds remaining.
