OAKLAND — After 40 years of suffering and waiting, the Warriors are back in the NBA Finals.
Confetti rained down on Oracle Arena after they became Western Conference champions, having defeated the Houston Rockets 104-90 on Wednesday to claim a 4-1 semifinal series victory.
Yet in the locker room, there wasn’t much celebrating.
“We’re not satisfied at all,” Draymond Green explained.
“It’ll be way different if we get four more wins.”
The Warriors, who will face LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals, punched their ticket after Stephen Curry scored 26 points and Harrison Barnes poured it on in the fourth quarter to finish with 24 points.
