The Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder faced off in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on Monday night in an exciting one that came down to the last minute. The Warriors came out with 96-88 win and now advance to the NBA Finals for the second year in a row, seeking back-to-back championships.
The series was a hard-fought one in which the Warriors came back after losing two games in a row in OKC and trailing 3-1 in the series. They are only the 10th team in NBA history to come back from down 3-1 in a playoff series.
NBA players, other athletes, and celebrities all took to Twitter with their reactions to the game.

After going through somewhat of a shooting slump (and Russell Westbrook‘s defense) for much of the series, Steph Curry had a big game Monday night, posting 38 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists. He also shot 7-of-12 from 3-point range, a record for 3-pointers in a Game 7.
