Kevin Durant said that he was "100 percent correct" to join the Golden State Warriors, and now we've seen why. For a third straight season, the Warriors are going to the NBA Finals.

This time around, they'll be going in unblemished, as they moved to a perfect 12-0 in the postseason, a historic accomplishment as they become the first team in NBA history to do so. They also complete their third straight sweep Monday night, beating the Spurs 129-115 in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.

San Antonio never gave up, battling all game long, even as Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant continued to hit exceptional shots. Manu Ginobili -- in what could be his last game in the NBA -- gave another valiant performance, scoring 15 points, and was rewarded with a standing ovation by the Spurs crowd, who showed their appreciation for all he's done throughout his career. 

Curry led the way for the Warriors with 36 points, while Durant added 29. 

Game 1 of the Finals is set for June 1. 

Here are a few quick takeaways:

History is made

Most everyone expected the Warriors to get back to the Finals this season. Yet the way they did it, blowing away the competition and sweeping every single series to become the first team to start a postseason 12-0 is simply remarkable. 

Yes, they added Kevin Durant, and, yes, their opponents had some injuries. But there's no denying the greatness of the accomplishment. Not only did they go undefeated, but they had the highest margin of victory of any team entering the Finals in NBA history, beating their opponents this postseason by an average of 16.3 points. 

A Kawh-alternate history

There's been plenty of debate about whether or not the play that injured Kawhi Leonard was dirty, but one thing everyone can agree on is that this series would have been much different if he doesn't get hurt. The Spurs were up by 23 points when he went down in the third quarter of Game 1, and were outscored by 87 points in the three and a half games that followed. Of course the Spurs were not going to cruise to 20-point wins every time out, but this series would have been far more competitive with Leonard -- a top five player in the league -- on the floor. 

Adios Manu?

Manu Ginobili received a standing ovation late in the fourth quarter of Game 4, and then another as he exited the floor following the final whistle. Spurs fans, knowing it could be the last time they seem him, payed homage to not only his effort in this series, but throughout his career. This was a throwback series for Ginobili, as he averaged 13.8 points per game on nearly 59 percent shooting, while also dishing out nearly three assists and swiping two steals per game. This was the first time since the 2014 Finals in which Ginobili averaged double digits for an entire playoff series, so if it was his last hurrah, it was quite the way to go out. 

I think I'll let Pau sum things up:
