After going on an 11-0 run in the final three minutes of game 3, the Golden State Warriors stole game 3 in Cleveland and shocked the Cavaliers in front of their home fans. The shot that propelled them to victory was Kevin Durant’s late pull-up three-pointer.
However, the shot that flew under the radar was the one LeBron James took in the corner with 12.6 seconds remaining with the Cavaliers down by three. In full speed, Andre Iguodala gets the clean block on LeBron’s shot before it goes off and the play solidified a come from behind victory for the Warriors. Once the play is slowed down, LeBron’s leg seems to kick up between Iguodala’s legs in a rather unfavorable spot.

Subsequently, Iguodala was asked about the play and surprisingly enough didn’t feel the kick in the heat of the moment.
Following from Chris Haynes of ESPN.
“You know what’s crazy? I did not feel it.”
“When I look back at it, I was like, ‘Oh, I didn’t even know this happened,’” he said. “Somebody told me about it. I didn’t know what happened, but I’m not going to be the one to say someone should not play, because you want everybody to be at full strength, right?”
Yesterday, Iguodala’s former teammate Marreese Speights had some fun at his expense and took to Twitter to poke fun at the play.
@andre hopefully you can have more kids
