What Andre Iguodala Brings To The Warriors/Thunder Matchup

The Golden State Warriors play much better defensively against Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder when Andre Iguodala is on the court.

The 2015 NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala has been assigned with a very difficult task this round as his Golden State Warriors take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. He has the nearly impossible responsibility of trying to contain the former MVP and four-time scoring champion, Kevin Durant. Iguodala, who is one of the league’s best perimeter defenders, has played very well against the Thunder’s star small forward this season.

The Warriors played the Thunder three times during the regular season, and during those games the Thunder scored an average of 115.
