Golden States Warriors have made a historic comeback to the NBA finals, once again. Warriors beat Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals with a score of 120-110.

The game on Thursday was specially memorable for Golden State Warriors’ star player Stephen Curry. He was named the MVP in the Western Conference finals, the first time NBA presented such an award.

Golden State Warriors were troubled with a series of injuries and failed to make it to the NBA playoffs in the two seasons. But they now return to a familiar stage.

The warriors dominating performance through the conference finals makes them the first team to reach the NBA finals six times in an eight-year span since the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls had a pair of three-peats from 1991-93 and 1996-98.

Thompson scored 19 points in the first half, including a 3-pointer that he celebrated with  Curry’s signature shake as the Warriors raced out to a 17-point halftime lead.

Andrew Wiggins added 18 points and 10 rebounds, Draymond Green scored 17 points and Curry had 15 points and nine assists for Golden State.

The Warriors followed their pattern from the first two rounds by bouncing back after squandering a chance to end a series on the road by winning at home. Golden State is now 9-0 at the Chase Center this postseason, tying the 2017 team for the most consecutive home wins in a single postseason in NBA history.
