And because of our versatility, I feel like we’ll be able to do that.” “The game gives us all the motivation we need, and the biggest thing for us is to just tweak things a little bit here and there to try to get the right rotations on the floor at the right time. I don’t think we need any more of an edge, any more psychological advantage, anything like that. “I just think that it’s the NBA Finals,” Kerr said Sunday. He says there is no further motivation needed. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has told his players that Monday night’s clinching-potential game will not be an easy task. They probably won’t have ever seemed as excited before as when we get to Monday.” I’ve been fortunate to play there for five years and we really do have the best fans in the league. “We can’t wait to get to Oracle on Monday. “If you don’t get up for that, there’s something wrong with you,” Thompson said. The Larry O’Brien Trophy was flown cross-country to Oakland on Saturday to be handed out if the Warriors win. Curry and Thompson combined for 11 of the team’s 3s in the game.

Individual guys step up and play pretty special and have special efforts and come out with a win.”Ĭavaliers coach Tryonn Lue doesn’t see Green’s absence as being a deciding factor.

So we hope to have a great night, take care of the details of the game. “We understand what we’re playing for, and that’s all that matters. “Yeah, we’re going to come out aggressive and confident, just like we would if Draymond was playing,” Curry said at Sunday’s press conference. But they will search for the clinching victory without one of their top players. The win put the Warriors on the brink of back-to-back championships. Stephen Curry found his long-range touch and scored 38 points as the Warriors rebounded from a 30-point loss by beating the Cavs 108-97 in Game 4 and taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. The Warriors will have to do it without power forward Draymond Green, who is suspended for Game 5 of the NBA Finals after he was assessed a flagrant foul 1 by the league for his actions against Cavaliers forward LeBron James in Game 4 on Friday night.
