In a repeat of last season’s final, the Golden State Warriors will face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015/16 final after completing a sensational come-from-behind series win against the Oklahoma City Thunder
Trailing 3-1 at one point in the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors rallied to make it 3-3 and silenced the Thunder once and for all in a series-deciding Game 7 on Monday, securing a 96-88 victory.
Warriors superstar Stephen Curry stole the spotlight as the series moved back to the Oracle Arena, scoring 36 points on 13 of 24 shooting, which included seven three-pointers.
Curry was well supported by his partner in crime Klay Thompson, who dropped 21 points, sinking six three-pointers in the process.
Kevin Durant scored 27 points and grabbed seven rebounds for the Thunder, but his right-hand man Russell Westbrook was a little disappointing even though he finished with 19 points and 13 assists.
Having emerged victorious after a long and arduous series against the Thunder, the Warriors are a step closer to retaining their NBA title. Last season, they beat the Cavaliers 4-2 to win their first NBA title in 40 years.
