Golden State Warriors have “unbelievable chance” to make it to NBA Finals once…
Having booked their place in the Western Conference Finals with a 4-2 series victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, the Warriors advanced to five-straight NBA Finals between 2015 and 2019, winning three of them but missing out on the playoffs completely in 2020 and 2021 despite a slew of injuries.
“It’s unbelievable knowing what we’ve been through these last two years, and six of the last eight we have an opportunity to play for the finals,” Curry said after Golden State’s series-clinching 110-96 win over Memphis on Friday night.
“I think me, Draymond, Klay, Loon [Kevon Looney] we’ve been in this position before. We understand the emotions, the adrenaline, how much you want it, how hard it is.
“Never take it for granted and understand this is what it’s all about, and then for us to have another opportunity to get four more wins and play for a trophy, that’s special.”
For Thompson, it particular, it means so much after he returned from injury only in January following more than two and a half years spent recovering from surgeries on his left knee and right Achilles tendon.
Thompson scored 30 points on Friday night, with eight 3-pointers in adding another Game 6 masterpiece to his long list of them.
