“Game Six Kevon” leads Warriors to the conference finals

For 80 of the season’s 82 regular-season games, Kevon Looney started at center for the Golden State Warriors. He spent half the season as the team’s only real center, manning the post defensively despite standing 6’9”, while Draymond Green, Otto Porter Junior, and Nemanja Bjelica were in and out of the lineup, and James Wiseman never joined. And Looney never complained, even when the Warriors benched him for lineups featuring an extra guard or a teenage power forward. Last night, upon instructions from interim head coaches Steph Curry and Draymond Green, Looney returned to the starting lineup for the Warriors’ biggest game of the season and simply had the biggest game of his career.
