The Golden State Warriors have staved off elimination from the National Basketball Association play-offs with an inspired game-five victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After the win, Curry said his team never believed the series was over despite going 3-1 down on Tuesday. Durant has been getting to the line a lot and getting his reps up in each game, but we will go with the fact that he has not scored more than 30 often of late.
Very few players are able to guard the best players and be the top option on offense.
Russell Westbrook collected 36 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds as Oklahoma City grabbed a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals, thanks in large part to Westbrook’s first triple-double of the postseason.
“I thought he looked like 91 percent”, Kerr said, mocking the constant “Steph is hurt” chatter.
“Their bench came in and made shots, made plays for them”.
“I think our energy goes as my energy goes, and I’ve been bad”, Green said. “He’s going to compete every night, and I thought he had an excellent night and helped us get it done”. Game number six will be played at Air Canada Center, Toronto, but seventh game will be held in Cleveland.
Curry led the Warriors with 31 points to go with seven rebounds and six assists.
Andrew Bogut had his best game of the series – finishing with 15 points and 14 boards, while Marreese Speights added 14 points. Strap in, folks. Game 6 is going to be a good one.
Oklahoma City got a boost from an unlikely source. The Thunder matched the most points they have scored in a first half in franchise playoff history, a mark they set the previous game against the Warriors. “We didn’t shoot a particularly good percentage when we got into the lane and got into the deep paint”.
The Warriors got off to a fast start on both ends of the floor, as they played great defense on the Thunder duo and found success scoring on the offensive end. I’ve done that the last four years of my career, trying to elevate my defensive presence.
When asked about Durant’s comments, Curry took the high road.
