Durant wins big star wars

KEVIN Durant has delivered at both ends as Golden State Warriors beat Cleveland Cavaliers 99-92 in a Christmas Day rematch of opponents from the past three NBA finals series.

Durant finished with 25 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots while also excelling in defence against superstar LeBron James.

After Klay Thompson hit a goahead three-pointer with 1min 33sec left, Durant’s block against James with 24.5sec remaining was ruled clean, ending Cleveland’s chances.
