Thompson’s 41 points, 11 3-pointers save Golden State’s season

“I am just so proud of everybody, man”, Thompson, who scored a playoff career-high 41 points including a league playoff record of 11 three-pointers in Game 6, said.

Curry’s 3-pointer with 2:47 remaining tied the game at 99-99 and Thompson made the last of his 3-pointers with 95 seconds remaining to put the Warriors ahead to stay at 104-101.

OKC has proven they are better than Golden State.

With less than two minutes to play, the Warriors’ Andre Iguodala stripped Russell Westbrook of the ball, which found its way to Thompson in a comfortable spot, behind the three-point line.

Stephen Curry, who was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2015/2016 season, scored 29 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out nine assists in the victory.

Draymond Green was the lone Warrior (14 points, 12 rebounds) to join Curry and Thompson in double-digits.

The Dubs outscored OKC 19-5 over the game’s final minutes, the Warriors’ Lineup of Death returned to form by outscoring the Thunder 21-10 in seven fourth quarter minutes, and Golden State’s three-point shooting returned with a vengeance as the Dubs’ 21 made three-pointers dwarfed OKC’s three. “They were down and out, but Klay Thompson took this game to another level”, another said. The victor will play Cleveland in the National Basketball Association finals.

“I started out the game slow, and we’re not going to go far if I’m not being aggressive”.

Making history wasn’t enough for Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson. After being non existent for games three and four he finally chose to show up, and make a difference for his team. Being 8-1 at home during the playoffs compared to a lousy 3-4 on the road, home court advantage will play a huge role for the Warriors in this Game 7.

“We didn’t draw a whole lot up that created shots for them”, Kerr said of Thompson and Curry. Years later it’s as if Game 7 didn’t even need to be played.

Game 6 looked to be following a similar narrative, with Oklahoma City accumulating a 13-point lead with 7:20 left in the first half, but Golden State fought back, cutting the lead to five, 53-48, at halftime. We just needed a stop or two.

“Game seven, if we give that same effort, we’ll be fine”. “Curry had some tough ones over hands, so that’s what they do”. We get another opportunity, and we can’t hang our heads.
