Kevin Durant was blasted for not coming through in Game 5 and he dominated in Game 6 with over 30 points and now the team has the chance to end the series in OKC. Durant and Russell Westbrook have been getting tons of pressure, but they can put all that aside with a series win.
The Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks are the early game and they will be on TNT starting up at 5:30 pm ET and that is the one with the most intrigue.
