OAKLAND, Calif. — As two defenders closed in with the clock winding down in the third quarter, Kevin Durant bounced a perfect pass right to Stephen Curry open on the left wing.
The two-time reigning MVP then hit one of those buzzer-beating 3-pointers he made so many times last season.
Durant dazzled and scored 34 points in another efficient performance from the floor, Curry added 19 points with five 3-pointers and the Golden State Warriors quickly ran away from the overmatched Portland Trail Blazers in a 135-90 win Saturday night.
“There have been moments throughout the season where I wouldn’t say you’re surprised but it’s kind of just ‘Wow’ moments where you appreciate the talent on this squad all the way through,” Curry said. “That’s an amazing pass when he’s obviously had it going from all over the floor and he recognized he had two people on him, found me and I was able to knock it down just in time.”
