MANILA, Philippines – Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and company are one win away from sending the greatest regular season team in NBA history to an early vacation.
Playing with more energy and stupendous defense, the Oklahoma City Thunder won Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals at home against the Golden State Warriors, 118-94, to take a 3-1 series lead and move one more victory away from the NBA Finals – on Wednesday, May 25 (Thursday morning, May 26 PH time).
A trip to the next round would be the first for OKC since 2012, when it lost the LeBron James-led Miami Heat.
The Warriors, who went a record 73-9 in the regular season, were hounded by lackadaisical turnovers and a misfiring game from MVP Steph Curry, who finished with 19 points on 6-of-20 shooting.
Westbrook finished with 36 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists to lead the Thunder, while Durant posted 26 points, 11 boards and 4 dimes. – Rappler.com
