Anybody want to argue that Kevin Durant is the best basketball player in the NBA now?
Durant led his Oklahoma City Thunder to a rousing 2nd half comeback after being down 15 at the half as the they beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-99.
Durant had 34 points and 14 rebounds and just kept hitting clutch shot after clutch shot. Oh, his teammates weren't bad either. Russell Westbrook had 25 and The Beard (James Harden) chipped in 16.
And now the team in the smallest NBA market awaits the winner of the Boston Celtics/Miami Heat game Thursday night.
We applaud them for doing it the right way, draft picks, a few free agents and keeping the core of the team together. Yes, they are still young, but they are awfully deep and seriously talented. The only remaining question: "How will they handle the pressure of the finals?"
If this series is an indicator, they should be just fine. Though we suspect there was a huge collective 'Gulp' somewhere around Bristol, Connecticut.
