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.
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.
Q4.4.45. 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.

Imma say it. Varejao was good this game. Ezeli sucked, though.
He was actually. The kick out 3 and then a running floater.
Drew a charge. Had another good pass, too.
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

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

This OKC team was crazy good.
They really were. I'm convinced they would have waxed CLE.
Absolutely. We should have too.
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.
I actually have a soft spot for both those guys. And Barnes made that 3!
I also have a soft spot, but it is right near a jagged nerve!
Then Shaun with a huge strop of Westbrook. This is a big time minute from S Dot.
Q3.2.35. LIVINGSTON WITH THE DUNK! Right after a tough layup. Haha, I forgot that happened. Shaun has me up out of my chair!
And another Curry unclutch 3 to go up 3!!
Yooo, Steph with back to back 3s to go from down 3 to up 3. Those weren't clutch because it wasn't go-ahead in the last 24 seconds.
In fact, Steph basically choked this whole Game 7 away as usual with 36 points on 13-24 (7-12 from 3) plus 8 AST, 5 REB.
Steph with a huge unclutch 3 to tie the game!
