Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala knew that he will need to step up in the absence of injured forward Kevin Durant, and that's exactly what he did.
Iguodala finished with 17 points in Game 6 against the Rockets, 15 of which came from the five 3-pointers he made. He helped the Warriors keep the game close before the Dubs eventually pulled away in the fourth quarter to close out the series.
According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, it's the first time since 2013 that Iggy was able to hit five triples in a game.

Iguodala was the Warriors' original starting forward before Durant signed with the team back in 2016. He's been given the opportunity to remind everyone that he's still a valuable member of the squad won a championship four years ago.
Golden State will now advance to the Western Conference Finals where they will face the winner of the Denver Nuggets-Portland Trail Blazers series.
Iggy sacrificed a lot for the Warriors, and while he's no longer one of the players that most people talk about these days, his contributions are very much appreciated by his teammates. The Dubs trust him to deliver when they need him, and with KD out, he surely got the job done.
