Splash Brothers send Warriors to Western Conference Finals

- By Janie Mccauley

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are cherishing this playoff run a little more given they spent the past two years watching the postseason instead of their familiar position chasing championsh­ips.

Now, with those experience­d faces and a cast of new stars, the Warriors are headed to another Western Conference Finals and need just four more wins to give themselves a title chance again.

They will lean on the experience of Curry, Green, Thompson and Kevon Looney having been here so many times already.

“It’s unbelievab­le knowing what we’ve been through these last two years and six of the last eight we have an opportunit­y to play for the finals,” said Curry, who took his team to five straight finals from 2015-19. “I think me, Draymond, Klay, Loon, we’ve been in this position before. We understand the emotions, the adrenaline, how much you want it, how hard it is . ... Never take it for granted and understand this is what it’s all about, and then for us to have another opportunit­y to get four more wins and play for a trophy, that’s special.”
