Kevin Durant was a dunking machine in Game 1

There’s no doubt Kevin Durant was on during Game 1.

During the opening game of the 2017 NBA Finals on Thursday night, Durant finished with 38 points after he tied his career-high of six dunks in the first half.

Here’s a few of them.

During Durant’s dunk with 4:19 left in the first quarter, Durant made James slide and fall to the ground.

Durant and the Warriors won the first game of the Finals 113-91.

The Warriors and Cavaliers will return to Oracle Arena on Sunday at 8 p.m. for Game 2 of the series.
