Kevin Durant has battled through more than just another series with the Golden State Warriors, but also an internal war with his own identity as a player — going from an ultra-effective scoring machine in Game 1 and 2, to a shot-hoisting assassin delving back into his old iso-heavy ways through the rest of the […]

After crunching the numbers, breaking down the film and approaching the Western Conference Finals from every possible angle prior to its beginning, the ending still felt inevitable.
