LOS ANGELES — A week ago, after a Game 2 to forget, Kevin Durant issued a reminder.
“I’m Kevin Durant,” he said. “You know who I am.”
Don’t perceive that statement as egotistical — no, it was just arguably the greatest scorer in the history of the NBA’s brief way of stating the overt truth that he could do whatever he wanted on the basketball court, night in, night out.
Since then, Durant has issued a few more reminders of that fact. He scored 38 points in Game 3 and followed it with a 33-point performance to give the Warriors a 3-1 lead in the series.
