Green inbounded the ball, and Curry quickly pushed upcourt. Once he reached the frontcourt, he passed it back to Green, then started moving off the ball again.
Green handed the ball off to Durant at the top of the key.
KD caught the ball and drove quickly. Then, from mid-range, he faked a jump shot to draw the defense before passing to Klay on the wing.
Klay used a crossover with Curry to create a sliver of space for a shot. He caught the ball and went straight up for a three-point shot.
Swish~~
A crucial moment! Klay Thompson!!
He'd been ice-cold for almost the entire game, but now he'd hit a crucial three!
Unfortunately, it had come a little too late.
After the Warriors scored, possession changed, and Donovan immediately called a timeout as well.
Twenty-five seconds left, up by five.
"Use up the clock. Don't turn the ball over. Keep it rotating between Jimmy and Chris as much as possible, and make sure we're steady at the line in the clutch. Hang in there! The win is ours!!"
The brief timeout passed quickly, and both teams returned to the court.
Chen Xi came back in, replacing Roberson as Oracle Arena rained boos down on him.
Westbrook inbounded from the baseline. Butler caught the ball and moved quickly, then began deliberately running down the clock after crossing half court.
Realizing something was wrong, Durant immediately stuck to him, trying to foul him. But Butler got rid of the ball quickly, and Chen Xi caught it on the other side and immediately started moving.
He used his speed to shake off Klay, then quickly passed the ball back to Butler.
This time, Butler couldn't get the pass off. Green wrapped him up, but at least they'd burned more time.
