Steven Adams' powerful one-handed dunk on Draymond Green drew a roar from the crowd and gave Oklahoma City a 37-28 lead. The Thunder led 23-20 after one quarter, then seized momentum early in the second. Curry's layup with 14.3 seconds to play put the Warriors up by five, the Thunder turned it over again, and the Warriors were in the clear. Westbrook lost control of the ball, and after Thompson missed a 3, Westbrook turned the ball over again. The Thunder, who blew a number of fourth-quarter leads during the regular season, fell apart in the final minutes after Golden State had finally gone ahead for good. Thompson's 3 with 1:35 to play put the Warriors up 104-101. Curry then hit two 3s, the second of which tied the game at 99 with 2:47 to play. Thompson kept them in it with four 3-pointers in just over seven minutes to start the period. Trying to become the 10th team to overcome a 3-1 deficit, the Warriors trailed much of the game and were behind by eight going to the fourth quarter. But Durant made just 10 of 31 shots and Westbrook was 10 of 27. Kevin Durant scored 29 points and Russell Westbrook added 28 for the Thunder. "About time we had a stretch in this building where we imposed our will," Curry said. Oklahoma City dominated Games 3 and 4 at home, but the Warriors made 21 of 44 3-pointers on Saturday, while Oklahoma City was 3 of 23. "We were down almost the whole game and we never gave up." "I just so proud of everybody, man," Thompson said. The winner will play Cleveland in the NBA Finals. The Warriors, who set the league's regular-season record with 73 wins, will host Game 7 on Monday. Stephen Curry bounced back from a slow start to finish with 29 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. Klay Thompson made a playoff-record 11 3-pointers and scored 41 points, and the defending champion Golden State Warriors forced a seventh game in the Western Conference finals with a 108-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night.
