Warriors Reach NBA Finals for 6th Time in 8 Years

The Golden State Warriors are back.

For the first time since losing to the Toronto Raptors in 2019, the Golden State Warriors are return to the NBA Finals. After finishing off the Dallas Mavericks, 120-110 in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals behind 32 points from Klay Thompson, the Warriors have a chance to snag their fourth Larry O’Brien trophy in eight years.

Coming off a lopsided affair in Game 4 that saw the Warriors trail by as many as 29 points, the Warriors controlled Game 5 for its entirety.

Thompson, who led all scorers, shot 12-for-25 from the floor, knocking down 8 of the 16 three-pointers he attempted. His 32 points matches his postseason high this year when he dropped 32 in a Game 4 loss to the Denver Nuggets in the first round.
