OAKLAND — The Warriors reached the NBA Finals by becoming the first team to ever go 12-0 through the first three rounds of the playoffs.
That sets the stage for the possibility of a perfect 16-0 run to a title, a task that won’t be easy against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Count Warriors’ star Kevin Durant among those who couldn’t care less.
“However you get there,” Durant said Tuesday. “However you get to 16 wins. That doesn’t matter to me.”
Durant’s playing in the Finals for the second time, the last coming when he and the Oklahoma City Thunder lost 4-1 in 2012 to James and the Miami Heat.
