Anyone who watched would be able to tell one’s grandchildren with pride that he saw the great Warriors-Thunder series, when two great teams played at the highest level of fast, small-ball basketball and neither was willing to yield.

Watching Golden State’s path, it is hard not to admire the team’s determination, and their ability to rise when their back is against the wall. And yet, considering the impressive performance given by Oklahoma, one cannot feel that more than Golden State’s group determination and rise to the occasion of key players like Klay Thompson, Steph Curry and the marvelous Andre Iguodala, it was Oklahoma who lost this series, because of the simplest element of sports: exhaustion.
OKC were nearly there, with the 3-1 lead, but the renewed determination of GS was too much for them, but not because of their overall level. Because after such a long playoff, with so much energy spent, the depth of the teams talked, and OKC is still not deep enough to go the distance against the likes of Steve Kerr’s guys. You could see shots that are usually made lacking that centimeter to fall in, defence that was slightly less tenacious and overall movement that was no longer the mad hussle that enabled OKC to beat the Spurs and get a 3-1 lead over Golden State. Fatigue called the series.
Now with our face forward, to the NBA finals, we can only hope that Golden state has enough energy after this series to fight Cleveland and to hope that the Cavaliers will prove an equal match, despite the lesser conference they come from, so that the coming series will be at least close in its level to the legend that we have just seen before us.
The stage is set. After trailing in the Western Conference Finals series 3-1, the reigning champion Golden State Warriors have clawed back in the series and forced a Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Golden State–who accumulated an NBA record 73 wins and just 9 losses–had fans think they’d roll through the 2016 Playoffs with ease. Little did they know, they’d go 11-and-5 in games played before Game 7. This series has been very odd. Superstar players could have extremely efficient games, then fall off the next game shooting under 40%.
In Game 1, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined to shoot 33.3% from the field and still snuck away with the win. Game 2 was a different story. Golden State came out firing from all cylinders, having seven players tally in double-figures, including 28 points and 5 three-pointers from Stephen Curry. Now tied 1-1, Oklahoma City would go on to win the next two games by blowouts. Game 3 was decided by 28 points, and Game 4 was decided by 24 points. With their backs to the wall, Golden State would fight back in Game 5 led behind 31 points from Stephen Curry, and 27 from Klay Thompson. The champions edged past Kevin Durant’s 40 points to now trail in the series by one game. In Game 6, Klay Thompson’s three-point borage led Golden State past Oklahoma City, 108-101, tying the series at three games apiece. Thompson’s 11 three-pointers are a new postseason NBA record.
