They followed up a 4-1 series win against Denver and 4-2 success against Memphis with a 4-1 victory over Dallas in the Western Conference Finals.
The Warriors got off to a losing start in the NBA Finals though, dropping Game 1 at the Chase Center.

Stephen Curry led the way for Golden State with 29 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals.
Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins both struggled with their shooting as they each ended the game with just 11 points.
Kevon Looney shot a perfect 6/6 as he ended the game with 12 points though, and Jordan Poole made an impact off the bench with 17 points.
Draymond Green dished out seven assists to go along with nine points and five rebounds.
Over the course of the playoffs so far, Stephen Curry has unsurprisingly been the key to Golden State’s success.

They were unable to register back-to-back wins at the Chase Center though, getting blown out 107-88 in Game 2.

He was only one of three players to hit double digits in scoring, with Jaylen Brown and Derrick White the other two.
