OAKLAND – Stephen Curry poured in 40 points and helped the Warriors erase a lead as big as 25. Golden State pulled off the largest conference finals comeback since the Boston Celtics’ comeback against the New Jersey Nets in 2002.

A pivotal moment of the game came after Kawhi Leonard re-aggravated his ankle injury in the third quarter. The Dubs responded with an 18-0 run to cut the deficit to five.

Kevin Durant dropped 34 points, Draymond Green added nine points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 28 points, eight rebounds and three steals for the Spurs. Leonard scored 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
