Despite a resounding 137-116 Game 4 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night, the Golden State Warriors were in a much lighter mood during Sunday morning shootaround, as Kevin Durant bragged about a narrow win over teammate Stephen Curry in one of their usual shooting competitions.
During his media session, Durant was informed that altogether with his hot shooting in the NBA Finals, he's managed to carry that to his work on the practice facility, where he beat Curry by a hair.
“So you're saying I shot better than Steph in workout?,” asked Durant before the reporter nodded.
“I always shoot better than Steph in workouts,” he added nonchalantly.

Staying competitive even during practice confines is bound to help a team that struggled shooting the three during Game 4 — limited to an 11-of-39 outing from beyond the arc (28.2 percent).
The Warriors will need to correct their perimeter defense flaws and outshoot the Cavs in Game 5 if they hope to celebrate at the end of Monday night's game.
