Imagine, 48 hours before Game 4, the question was whether Curry could even play. You have to summon that kind of will and intensity and passion, and those guys have that.” So, they are not only gifted but they are incredibly competitive, and that’s what it takes to win on the road. They have been here together throughout that span. “You have a group of guys who are going to be in the Hall of Fame someday: Steph, Klay, Draymond,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. Thompson mused after Boston’s win in Game 3 that he was feeling those 2015 vibes again.
#7 years from now summary game series#
Same scenario: the Warriors were trailing that series 2-1, they were on the road and facing the dreaded 3-1 deficit, but found a way that night in Cleveland to top the Cavaliers and even the series on their way to a six-game triumph for a title. That would be Game 4 of the 2015 NBA Finals. But of the 39 road wins that the Warriors have enjoyed during this run, only one might truly measure up to the one Golden State got on Friday in terms of significance. There have been bigger moments: the Warriors have three championships in this era, and yes, getting handed a golden trophy by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is the biggest moment a team can have. Indeed it was, probably more so than any other road victory in this Warriors’ run. The Celtics would be on the brink of a title. And if the Warriors didn’t extend that road streak, the story would be wildly different right now. Game 5 is on Monday in San Francisco, the start of a best-of-three to decide the NBA title. And it can be argued that none of those road wins for Golden State in the Curry-Thompson-Green era were bigger than the latest one, a 107-97 win over Boston in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night. They’ve won a road game in every single one of them, a streak that is beyond compare in NBA history. The Warriors have been in 27 playoff series over those nine seasons. “We’re a resilient team,” Curry proclaimed that night. A trio of kids - Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green - went into Denver on a cool April night in 2013 and helped Golden State win Game 2 of a Western Conference first-round series.Īnd afterward, Curry said something prophetic.
The streak started a little over nine years ago.
