2016 NBA Playoff Round 3 - Game Day 12

The Warriors won their first road game of the series, winning their second game in a row to tie the series 3-3 and force a game 7 back at home. Klay Thompson scored a playoff record 11 3-pters in the game, hitting more 3's than any other player had overall field goals in the game. He finished with 41pts on 11-of-18 3's, scoring 19pts including 5 3-pters in the 4th quarter. The first 4 3's came in just over 7min to begin the 4th quarter, and his 5th gave the Warriors the lead for good. Durant had 29pts and Westbrook 28pts, but they only combined for 20-of-58 fgs. Curry had 29pts on 9-of-22 shooting, narrowly missing a triple double with 10reb, 9asts, along with Westbrook who had 9reb, 11asts. Klay and Curry scored or assisted on 82 of the team's 108 points.

The Warriors were down by 5 after only shooting 36% in the first half, and Curry went scoreless in q1 for the first time this postseason. After OKC ended the 3rd quarter with a 9-2 run, the Warriors found themselves down by 8 to start the 4th. The Warriors inched closer throughout the quarter thanks to the hot 3pt shooting of Klay Thompson, and Curry was able to tie the game with a 3 of his own with 2:47 remaining. After Roberson scored off an offensive rebound, Iguodala scored on a driving layup then stripped Westbrook as he was attempting a shot, then Klay put the Warriors up 104-101 with 1:35 left with a 3-pter. With 35sec left, Iguodala stole a pass from Westbrook, Curry faked a step-back 3, then drove and banked it in to put the Warriors up 106-101 with 14sec left. After a Thunder timeout, Curry stole the inbounds pass to seal the game. OKC had it's 6th loss of the season when leading by 5+pts with under 5min to go, as the Warriors scored 10pts off 6 OKC turnovers - 4 of them coming from Westbrook in the last 1:39, after he only had 1 turnover through the first 3 quarters. Klay and Curry scored 27 of the Warrior's 33 4th quarter points.

The series will return to the Warrior's home floor where they will host game 7 for the first time in 40 years. The Warriors will look to return to the finals for a rematch with the Cleveland Cavaliers, with a good chance to beat a demoralised Thunder team who have lost 2 straight after being up 3-1 in the series. Home teams in the playoffs are 100-24 in game 7s.
