Game 3 of the NBA Finals was the Kevin Durant show.
KD put up 43 points (on 15/23 shooting), 13 rebounds, and 7 assists, and hit a dagger three-pointer in the final minute, to lead the Warriors to a 110-102 comeback victory.
Players around the League hopped on Twitter to discuss the epic performance:

After this Ring I hope KD goes somewhere else and tries to win one with his own team.. He got his validation.. He’s one of the best in the World it’s time.. Just my opinion. Not suppose to be this easy 🤷🏽♂️
