Warriors Still Alive! Survive Must-Win Game On OKC's Home Court 108-101
OKLAHOMA CITY (CBS/AP) -- Warriors are coming home.... for game seven!!!
The Thunder tried again to close out Golden State in the NBA Western Conference final Saturday, but Golden State managed to pull off a 108-101 win on Oklahoma City's home court.
Klay Thompson made a playoff record with 11 3-pointers, scoring 41 points. After a slow start, Stephen Curry bounced back to finish with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.
"I'm just so proud of everybody, man," Thompson said after the game. "We were down almost the whole game and we never gave up."
The Warriors made 21 of 44 3-pointers on Saturday, while Oklahoma City was 3 of 23.
"About time we had a stretch in this building where we imposed our will," Curry said.
The Warriors certainly did impose their will. Game 6 was a must win in OKC where they have been hammered twice in the series.
Oklahoma seemed to fall apart in the final minutes of this game giving Golden state the win.
The Warriors trailed for most of the game and were down 8 going into the fourth quarter. That's when Klay turned it around, scoring four 3-pointers at the start of the period. Then Curry hit two 3s, and tied the game at 99.
Finally, Golden was ahead 104-101 after Thompson knocked down a 3-pointer with just 1:35 left to play.
The final score was 108-101.
Now both teams will be heading to Oakland for Game 7 of the Western Conference finals.
