Reiging MVP Steph Curry led four other players in double figures as the Golden State Warriors kept their title-defense hopes alive with a 120-111 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 5 on Friday (Philippine time).
Curry had a team-high 31 points to go with 7 rebounds and 6 assists to help the Warriors avoid elimination and trim the series deficit to 2-3.
Game 6 will be played in Oklahoma.
Klay Thompson added 27 points, Andrew Bogut chipped in 15, Marreese Speights scored 14 and Draymond Green had 11 for the Warriors, who are the top-seeded team in the playoffs.
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook had an impressive offensive night for Oklahoma, finishing with 40 and 31, respectively, but the Thunder couldn’t finish off the Warriors who were playing in front of their homecrowd.
