Durant propels Warriors past Jazz

Kevin Durant scored 38 points and the Golden State Warriors withstood a determined Utah effort to down the Jazz 102-91 on Saturday to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their NBA playoff series. The Warriors will try to close out the best-of-seven Western Conference second-round series in game four on Monday in Salt Lake City. The Jazz had hoped a return to their home floor on Saturday would spark a resurgence, and it briefly looked as if it had.
