The Golden State Warriors are now one win away from claiming their third NBA title in four years.
Kevin Durant scored 43 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead the Warriors to a comeback 110-102 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
The Cavs led by as many as 13 points in the first half but the Warriors used another massive third quarter, outscoring Cleveland by eight in the period, to claim the lead. The two teams traded the lead down the stretch before Kevin Durant drained a dagger three-pointer in the final minute to put it away.
You can see highlights of the game in the video above.
Durant's big game came at a needed time for the Warriors as no other player scored more than 11 points.
Stephen Curry finished with just 11 points on 3-16 shooting but scored five of those points in the final three minutes of the game. Klay Thompson added 10 points while rookie Jordan Bell recorded 10 points and seven rebounds.
LeBron James recorded another triple-double (33 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists) as he tried to will the Cavs back into the series, and he got great contributions from J.R. Smith (13 points) and Rodney Hood (15 points). Kevin Love also had this third-straight double-double (20 points, 13 rebounds) in the series but it wasn't enough.
Game 4 will be Friday at 9:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
