COMETH THE HOUR, cometh the MVP.
When his team needed him, Kevin Durant delivered an epic Game 6 performance to drag the Oklahoma City Thunder over the line and into the Western Conference finals.
The league’s best player finished with 39 points and 16 rebounds last night as OKC came from 16 points down to clinch a 104-98 win over the LA Clippers and seal a 4-2 series win.
“We’ve got a long way to go,” Durant said afterwards. “We definitely can get better.
“This is definitely a series that pushed us to the brink. We were in a tough spot. We stayed together and persevered.”
In Thursday night’s other game, the Indiana Pacers finished off the Washington Wizards to set up a mouth-watering Eastern Conference showdown against reigning champions the Miami Heat.
Anyone who watched the sides’ brilliant seven-game series last season will be licking their lips in anticipation of the rematch.
The only problem is that we’ll have to wait a couple of days. Game 1 is in Indianapolis on Sunday (8.30pm Irish time).

Durant v lebron intresting
Dont get ahead of ursf hav to win their conference first
Can’t see spurs beating okc too easily, but if they do, I know it’s sounds wrong but they should beat the heat. Okc don’t stand a chance against the heat.
Anyone know good websites for watching them? Using one at the moment and it’s ok but not great. Haven’t bothered getting setanta since UPC got rid of free espn with sky sports
First row sports maybe?? That’s probably the one you’re using already tho
Ya it is, sound for replying though
sportlemon.me never lets me down but if you wanna get xbmc on your laptop thats the best bet. All the american sports channels can be gotten on it.
