Golden State Warriors News

Would you stand in the way of a leaping Kevin Durant?

The Warriors are being featured as the NBA’s main event on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, facing the Cavaliers in Cleveland for the final regular season matchup between the two teams.

Kevin Durant’s desire to own an NBA team has “intensified” according to ESPN’s Chris Haynes. After his playing career is over, Durant wants to become just the second African-American majority owner in the league, joining Michael Jordan who currently owns the Charlotte Hornets.

By coming out on top in a bizarre final minute, the Warriors became just the third team to beat the Raptors at home this season.

The Warriors play the Raptors on Saturday night before returning to the United States to play in Cleveland on Monday against the Cavaliers.

After missing 13 of his team’s last 18 games, Warriors’ point guard Steph Curry is expected to return to action on Saturday evening against the Toronto Raptors.

Milwaukee’s best stretch helped give the Bucks command of the game, but it wasn’t enough to fend off Kevin Durant, who once again carried the Warriors to a 108-94 win as he exploded with five straight points with under three minutes to play before assisting a Draymond Green three-pointer that helped put the Bucks away.

Warriors’ guard Klay Thompson doesn’t show his emotions on too often on the court, but on Friday evening, Thompson’s reaction to a fan’s jeers from the front row in Milwaukee helped trigger the fan’s ejection from the game.

If the votes continue to roll in, either Warriors’ point guard Steph Curry or Warriors’ forward Kevin Durant will serve as a captain in this year’s NBA All-Star game.
