LOS ANGELES – Kevin Durant strolled into the interview room late Thursday night and made a reasonably good effort to downplay his scintillating performance, which wiped away three days of misery and reflection for the Warriors.
“I’ve been here for 12 years,” he said, referring to his NBA career. “I’m 30. I don’ t need to show nobody nothing at this point.”
He didn’t need to, but he did it anyway.
“Coach Kerr came up with some plays for me at the start of the game,” he said.
OK. Probably so.
“We were just more patient tonight, to sum it up,” he said.
