NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking Points from NBA Playoffs - April 15th - Warriors squander 31-point lead, series tied at 1-1

#2 Kevin Durant and Patrick Beverley fouling out for the second consecutive game

The two times finals MVP fouled out again

Kevin Durant and Patrick Beverley are having a personal battle of their own in the series. After some great tussle in the first game of the series, it was very evident from the tip-off that the refs won't allow Beverley play physical bump and grind in this match.

Despite that he kept being a pest for the entire match and played great on the defensive end. Kevin Durant was relatively quiet in this match. He was allowed to take only 8 shots and was frustrated for most of the night. He eventually fouled out late in the fourth quarter getting two quick fouls on the offensive end.

Stephen Curry was again the leader for the Warriors. He scored the team high 29 points shooting 5-11 from the 3PT line. DeMarcus Cousins tore his quad and had to leave mid way into the first quarter. He is going to be sidelined for a significant time because of this injury.
