Another sweet splash for Warriors

Klay Thompson's sweet shooting carried the Warriors while Stephen Curry was down, and reunited in the starting lineup, the Splash Brothers led Golden State back to the Western Conference final.

Thompson scored 33 points with six 3-pointers, Curry added 29 and sealed it with a 3 with 24.9 seconds left and Golden State advanced to the West final for the second straight season with a 125-121 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 5 on Wednesday night.

Curry finished with five 3s a day after becoming the first unanimous MVP in NBA history. He added 11 assists after returning to the starting lineup for the first time all series because of a knee injury.
