It appeared that the Cavaliers were going to close the gap to 2-1 -- they were up 113-109 with three minutes left to play in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
But then Kevin Durant happened. After hitting a jumper to cut the lead to two, Durant came down the court and buried a cold-blooded 3-pointer to give the Warriors a 114-113 lead with 45 seconds left to play -- a lead they would never relinquish.

Not only did he drain what was essentially the game-winning 3-pointer, but he also made it right in the face of LeBron James. That had to feel nice for KD.
Durant scored seven points in the final 1:15 to give the Warriors a 3-0 lead in the series, and finished the game with 31 points, eight rebounds and four assists.
The game-winning shot could be the signature moment for a potential NBA Finals MVP performance. The Warriors will try to close out the series in Game 4 on Friday.
