Warriors “flip the switch” to keep season alive
Klay Thompson celebrates one of his nine three-point baskets in Game 6.OAKLAND — With the light about to go out on their championship hopes, the Warriors found their fabled “switch” just in time to save their season.
Apparently, the switch was attached to Klay Thompson’s right arm. In a performance reminiscent of his Game 6 heroics in the Western Conference finals against Oklahoma City in 2016, Thompson ignited the Warriors with his wondrous third-quarter shooting — and the rest of his teammates caught fire, too.
And suddenly the once-doomed Warriors looked like the kind of team capable of winning a Game 7 on the road, as they must do Monday night to reach a fourth consecutive NBA Finals.
