Winners Club: Warriors Advance to Sixth NBA Finals in Eight Years

What did you expect? A close game? In these NBA playoffs? Those have been hard to come by, even without much at stake. With the chance to make history, the Warriors wanted to shut the door on the Mavericks in Game 5. Golden State left Thursday with a 120-110 win in front of its home crowd; Steph Curry won the first-ever Western Conference Finals MVP, Klay Thompson channeled "Game 6 Klay," and the Warriors dynasty advanced to the Finals for the sixth time in eight seasons. They became the first team to do that since Michael Jordan's Bulls.
