C M Y K 12 SPORTS Durant steers Warriors past Spurs, Sixers advance

Oakland,April 25 (AFP): Kevin Durant scored 25 points as the Golden State Warriors powered into the Western Conference play- off semi-finals with a 4-1 series victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. The reigning NBA champions, jolted by the Spurs in game four on Sun- day, booked their place in the next round with a nervy 99-91 win in front of the home fans at the Oracle Arena. The Warriors will now face the New Orleans Peli- cans for a place in the con- Salah superb ference finals. However Golden State were given a scare after a late fourth quarter rally from San Antonio that threatened to take the best- but five-star of-seven series to a game six. The Spurs chipped away at a double-digit Golden State lead to close to 93-91 with 57 seconds left on the clock. Liverpool give But Durant delivered when it mattered with a su- perb fadeaway jump shot and two free throws to take Golden State clear again as the clock ticked down.
