It was deja vu for Kevin Durant on Wednesday night.
Durant drilled a dagger three from 33 feet out to help the Golden State Warriors win a hotly-contested Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
J.R. Smith gave a valiant contest on the shot, but Durant coldly drained the triple to knock the Cavs out for good. He finished with 43 points while single-handedly carrying the Warriors to a 3-0 series lead.
As it happens, Durant made the same shot from the same spot on the floor to win Game 3 of last year's Finals. It was a little closer to the rim, but Durant sized up LeBron James and sank a pull-up jumper in his eye.
