With their season on the line, the Golden State Warriors showed their championship pedigree.
Trailing by six points with 3:28 remaining in Game 5, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson scored six unanswered points - all from the 3-point line - to give the Warriors the lead. A layup from Kyle Lowry a few seconds later made it a one-point game with less than a minute to go, but the five-time All-Star was unable to knock down a 3-pointer in the closing seconds to get the win.
After the buzzer sounded, a number of NBA players took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Golden State extending the Finals with a gritty win.
Well damn it's going 7 now!

This series just got interesting! Steph best game of the series hands down! Toronto blew a Golden opportunity! This could be trouble and for some strange reason I'm thinking a Game 7!
