Green had 18 points, 14
rebounds and 11 assists,
and made a key 3-pointer
in overtime.
Curry added 37 points,
12 rebounds and 11 assists.
He and Green became the
fi rst teammates to have tri-
ple-doubles in the same
playoff game.
The Warriors will face
the winner of the Eastern
Conference fi nals between
Toronto and Milwaukee.
The Bucks lead that
series 2-1 with Game 4 on
Tuesday night in Canada.
The Warriors erased
another big defi cit, coming
back from 17 down after
erasing an 18-point defi cit
in Game 3 and a 17-point
hole in Game 2.
“We’ve
been
here
before. We’ve seen every-
thing, every experience
you can imagine. So we
relied on that,” Curry said.
Playing without Kevin
Durant, Andre Iguodala
and DeMarcus Cousins, the
Warriors became the fi rst
team to reach fi ve straight
fi nals since the Boston
Celtics went to 10 in a row
from 1957-66.
Damian Lillard, play-
ing with separated ribs,
had 28 points and 12 assists
for Portland. He missed a
3-point attempt as time ran
out in the extra period.
Meyers Leonard added a
career-high 30 points along
