NBA Finals: Top 10 Moments of the Warriors-Cavs Rivalry 

4. Kevin Durant hits the deep dagger in Game 3 of 2018 Finals

Kevin Durant hits a deep dagger three to seal the deal

Have we ever seen a player hit the same shot, from the same spot against the same team at almost an identical time in two different games?

That is what we saw Kevin Durant do in Game 3 of the 2018 NBA Finals.

The Warriors, similar to the previous year, entered into Game 3 with a 2-0 lead in the series. With both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson struggling shooting the ball, the Warriors were hanging around due to Durant's offensive brilliance. With less than a minute remaining in the game, the Dubs led by 3 three points. Kevin Durant with the shot clock winding down, hit a dagger over J.R. Smith to seal the game for the defending champs. And it was a deep dagger, almost from the Cavaliers logo.

Curry and Green's reaction to Durant game-winning three said it all. Durant ended the game with 43 points, 13 boards and 7 dimes in a 110-102 victory. His classic performance in Game 3, arguably the best of his career, and his Deja Vu dagger three helped the Warriors sweep the Cavs and defeat them for the 3rd time in the past 4 years.

He won the Finals MVP award for a second straight time.
