Kevin Durant says Clippers are running a ‘gimmick defense’ vs. Warriors

You might have already heard this, but just in case news of the biggest comeback in NBA playoffs history didn't reach you: the Golden State Warriors had a rough night on Monday. The overwhelming favorites to win a third straight NBA championship held a 31-point lead at on point against a Clippers team that was literally given 100-to-1 to beat them in the first round, and then the Warriors lost 135-131 to even the series at 1-1. At the center of that humiliating loss was Kevin Durant's struggles against the Clippers defense and one Patrick Beverley, who achieved minor viral fame by forcing last year's Finals MVP to cough up nine turnovers and foul out.
