#5 Erasing the heartbreaking memories of the 2016 NBA Finals
A year ago, the Warriors were in this exact position, leading 3-1 and playing at Oracle Arena, with the chance to end the series in front of their home crowd. However, Lebron James and the Cavaliers had other ideas, and they came back to win the series and the Championship, 4-3.

This time, there was a different level of focus exhibited by the team from Oakland, as they were intent on closing the series as soon as possible. A loss in the fourth game did not deter them and they went into game five with the right attitude. They set the pace and were able to control how they wanted to play. Securing a comfortable win in the end showed that they were deserved winners, as they took a 2-1 lead in series' between the two teams.
