The Warriors were facing elimination vs. the Thunder in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. In the past two games, they struggled — big time. The defending champs haven’t been looking like themselves, but on Thursday night, Steph Curry and crew found a way to win again.
Golden State beat OKC, 120-111, and now trails 3-2.
The exclamation point in the victory was this late fourth-quarter steal by Curry. He poked the ball away from Kevin Durant, flipped in a layup on the other end, and then he screamed to the crowd, “WE AIN’T GOING HOME!”
Curry scored a team-high 31 points as the Warriors managed to play their best when it mattered most.
For OKC, Russell Westbrook dropped 31 and Durant had a game-high 40.
Game 6 is on Saturday in Oklahoma City.
