Golden State Warriors' Klay Thompson watches during practice during NBA Finals at TD Garden in Boston, Mass., on Thursday, June 9, 2022.Klay Thompson says he will not “sing Kumbaya or anything” before he steps on the court before Game 5 on Monday night for the Golden State Warriors.And where his team is, three years after the Warriors were eliminated from their last appearance in the NBA Finals.
But it wasn’t the end. The Warriors have proven that in a dramatic way this spring. Now, exactly three years after it looked like something was over, the Warriors have a chance to take a 3-2 series lead over Boston in the NBA Finals and be one game away from another title. “To think it’s three years and all that we’ve been through, all that Klay has been through personally. It adds a sense of gratitude about being back on this stage.”
He immediately grabbed his knee and writhed on the floor. At the other end of the court, Curry slammed the basketball hard, then squatted beside it, a look of disbelief on his face. The fans at Oracle looked on in stunned silence. “I had never had such a severe injury, so I didn’t think it was that serious,” said Thompson, who was the Warriors’ Iron Man, at that point playing in 122 of 123 playoff games. “You’re in the championship, you’re playing in front of our fans, your adrenaline is so high that you kind of disregard anything that makes sense.
