OAKLAND – Kevin Durant can downplay or deny it all he wants. He just doesn’t score many points here doing so. But the sheer mix of basketball perfection and aggressive vengeance he unleashed in Golden State’s Game 1 blowout of Cleveland in the Finals was five years in the making. Durant’s 38 points and zero turnovers in a tone-setting, 113-91 rout of LeBron James and the defending champs were the second-most points by a player in Finals history without committing a miscue. That distinction is fitting.
