Ahhh, what a great game. I can enjoy it now. Back then, I think the Finals started two days later and it was a new rollercoaster with a painful ending. But now I can appreciate two great teams bringing out the best effort in each other. I'll leave it to others to be too cool to enjoy greatness.

Imma say it. Varejao was good this game. Ezeli sucked, though.

Steph with a big time move to draw 3 FTs. By the way, free throws don't count as clutch in those sketchy counterfeit statistics you might see

KD scores 7 straight, down 4 now. Dray goes to the floor with 1:22 left and gets the ball, calls TO. Big hustle play.

Down 6 with 1:52 to go. Way too close for comfort

This Thunder team was no joke. Two MVPs KD, Russ. Ibaka and Adams, two of the best bigs. Roberson an elite defender. Dion Waiters for microwave scoring. Kanter and Foye are respectable role players.

Q4.3:10. Wow, Steph treats KD like a traffic cone, drives to the hoop for a sweet layup.

Q4.4.45. Dray with the massive 3 to go up 11. The first moment in the entire series that I thought GSW might win. I'm not sure there's solid statistical evidence for big time clutch shooting but yeah.

And a rainbow 3 by Steph over KD. Wow.

Dray with a gorgeous help rotation to block KD on the drive.

Steph with the elbow J to restore a buffer.

Russ(!) with a 3

Then a beautiful scoop layup.

KD with a 3.

This was a great game.

The Warriors have missed three straight point blank layups to let OKC within 4.

Whoa whoa whoa, you can't show Anders*n V*rejao subbing into the game without a WARNING or something.

My heart. Dub Nation, beware last two minutes of Q3.

Then AV kicks out to Barnes for a corner 3. A lot of potential nerves jangled for sensitive Dub fans like me.

Then Shaun with a huge strop of Westbrook. This is a big time minute from S Dot.
