Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said he planned to involve the fourth-year shooting guard more tonight. He immediately commits a foul on Durant, who calmly sinks a pair to close the Cleveland lead to 22-16. The sides trade buckets before Klay Thompson hits the first three-pointer of the night for the Warriors after they missed their first six and the Warriors cut it to five. But Cleveland goes cold for a spell, Livingston and Durant chip in buckets, and all of a sudden it’s 26-26 with 32.6 seconds left. JR Smith hits a late three, but Durant drains a pair and the first quarter ends with the Cavaliers leading by the slim margin 29-28 lead.The Warriors fell behind by 12. Steph Curry picked up two quick fouls. Draymond Green picked up a technical. But a standout frame from Kevin Durant (a game-high 13 points on 4-for-4 shooting and seven rebounds, which is all of Golden State’s rebounds) has kept the Dubs hot on Cleveland’s heels.1Q perfection for KD (13 PTS, 4/4) . #NBAFinals | #DubNation pic.twitter.com/Yk6FAokmgJ Continue reading…
