NBA Finals 2022: How Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors landed in unfamiliar territory

BOSTON -- Klay Thompson has run the gamut of the NBA experience in his 11 years in the league. He's seen the tremendous highs of winning three championships in four years and the lows of having to sit out more than two seasons due to injury.

As the five-time All-Star assessed the situation Wednesday after the Golden State Warriors' 116-100 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the 2022 Finals, he made a sage pronouncement.

"Getting big 2015 vibes," Thompson said.

In those Finals seven years ago, one team was loaded with a nice mix of emerging young stars and role-playing veterans with a first-year coach who seemed to have been the perfect choice to unify and align the roster.
