After a generation of wishing and waiting, the Golden State Warriors have finally returned to basketball's biggest stage.
Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight rebounds, Harrison Barnes added 24 points and the Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years with a 104-90 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
"Why not us?" Curry said to a roaring, golden-yellow clad crowd after the Warriors received the Western Conference trophy from Alvin Attles, coach of their last championship team in 1975.
