The winner will play Cleveland in the NBA Finals. Weve got a lot of belief and a lot of heart, and weve given ourselves a chance to win this series, Curry said. Thats all we could ask for. Theres obviously a lot of excitement, but we still have one job to do.Thompson scored 19 points in the fourth quarter to help the Warriors overcome an eight-point deficit.Steph told me before I went out in the fourth, This is your time, Thompson said. You know, put on a show out there and have fun. I took those words to heart, and I just tried to be aggressive.The Warriors were well beaten on their previous visits to Oklahoma City in this series, but dominate from downtown in this one, making 21 of 44 three-pointers while the Thunder was a miserable three of 23.About time we had a stretch in this building where we imposed our will, Curry said. Stephen Curry scored 29 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists Kevin Durant scored 29 points and Russell Westbrook added 28 for the Thunder. But Durant made just 10 of 31 shots and Westbrook was 10 of 27.Trying to become the 10th team to overcome a 3-1 deficit, the Warriors trailed much of the game and were behind by eight going to the fourth quarter.Thompson kept them in it with four 3-pointers in just over seven minutes to start the period. Curry then hit two threes, the second of which tied the game 99-99 with 2:47 to play.Thompsons three with 1:35 to play put the Warriors up 104-101.The Thunder, who blew a number of fourth-quarter leads during the regular season, fell apart in the final minutes after Golden State had gone ahead.That really wasnt hasnt been us in the last month and a half, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. We got a little stagnant coming down the stretch.Westbrook lost control of the ball, and after Thompson missed a three, Westbrook turned the ball over again. Currys layup with 14.3 seconds to play put the Warriors up by five, the Thunder turned it over again, and the Warriors were in the clear.The Thunder led 23-20 after one quarter, then seized momentum early in the second. Steven Adams powerful one-handed dunk on Draymond Green drew a roar from the crowd and gave Oklahoma City a 37-28 lead. Green, who had hit Adams in the groin area twice during the series, was a constant target for the vocal Thunder fans. Kevin Durant led the scoring for Oklahoma but missed 21 shots Thompson opened the second half with back-to-back three-pointers to give the Warriors a 54-53 edge, but the Thunder closed the quarter strongly and led 83-75 heading into the fourth.The Warriors held the Thunder to 18 points in the fourth quarter to stay alive. They expect another tough battle in Game 7.To be in this situation people were doubting us, Green said. It will be the hardest game of our lives. It will be way harder than this game. Going back home, everybody will think, Oh, its done. It will be way harder. But if we come out and do what we did and stick to the game plan, well be fine.Thompsons amazing three-point shooting in the final minutes stole the show, shocking even backcourt partner Curry, who this year set an NBA record for 3-pointers in a season.It was unbelievable, Curry said. We needed every single one of them.All Klay needs is a sliver of daylight. The shots he made were huge. Im sure theres more in the chamber for game seven. We need that punch.Kerr has learned to live with the long-range heroics of Thompson and Curry.They walk that fine line between lethal and crazy, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. We have to live with that.Also See:Cavaliers advance to NBA finalsCurry leads Warriors fightAir Force 1 Femme Pas Cher . -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the Ducks in power football.

The team said Rodriguez has a strained left quadriceps and wont be able to return this week in Texas, as had been planned. Instead, he will remain on the disabled list and go back to Tampa, Fla., "for rest and treatment," the Yankees said in a statement issued before their game against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night. "Hes going to be out for a while," manager Joe Girardi said after the Yankees lost 8-7 in 11 innings. "So well just deal with it and continue to play." Mike Napoli hit a three-run shot after the Red Sox fell behind early, then he ended the game with a solo shot with two outs in the 11th -- ending the 4-hour, 46-minute game at 12:53 a.m. Monday. Only a day before, it appeared A-Rod was on target to return from off-season hip surgery early this week. Now, its unclear when he might be back. "I havent really talked to the doctors about it. You never know how quick a guys going to heal," Girardi said. "Until they walk through that door and theyre ready to play, I dont count on em. Its kind of like the trade rumours." Its the latest blow to the depleted Yankees, missing several injured stars almost all season. Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson came back and quickly got hurt again. Rodriguez didnt even finish his rehab assignment. Rodriguez and Girardi had said they were hoping the third baseman would be back for Tuesday nights game against the Rangers. But the three-time MVP was moved from third base to designated hitter for Saturday nights rehab game with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after feeling tightness in his quad and went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts. He was sent Sunday to New York-Presbyterian Hospital to be examined by team doctor Christopher Ahmad, and an MRI showed a Grade 1 strain -- the least serious level. Its the same injury that landed Jeter on the 15-day DL after his one-game return from a broken ankle. Jeter was injured July 11 and wont be back until late this month, at the earliest. Before the quadriiceps injury, the original plan was for Rodriguez to rejoin the Yankees on Monday in Texas.dddddddddddd Girardi then told reporters at Fenway Park at about 5:50 p.m. on Sunday that Rodriguez might make his 2013 debut on Tuesday. "I would be surprised if he played Monday. Tuesdays possible," Girardi said. But at 7:37 p.m. -- about a half-hour before first pitch -- the Yankees sent reporters an email saying the nearly 38-year-old Rodriguez "will not be joining the team for its series in Texas." Rodriguez had surgery on his left hip in January and hasnt played a major league game this season. His 20-day minor league rehab assignment expired on Sunday, and the Yankees had to activate him or leave him on the disabled list. The team said it might petition Major League Baseball for another rehab assignment because of the new injury. "I think were all a little bit anxious to see how he looks physically and how hes moving," Girardi said before the results of the MRI were announced. "Ive talked to people that have seen him and said he ran good yesterday. ... I am anxious to see. He hasnt played in a while and hes almost 38. You kind of want to see what youve got." Rodriguez told reporters in Scranton, Pa., on Sunday that he expected to work out on Monday and be back in the lineup Tuesday. He wasnt sure if he would play third or DH upon his return, he said. If Rodriguez can regain his MVP form -- rather than the one that got him benched during the 2012 playoffs -- his return would be a boost for a lineup that has been without most of its biggest stars. Jeter went back on the disabled list Friday and has played only one big league game all season. Teixeira (wrist surgery), Granderson (broken pinkie), infielder Kevin Youkilis (back surgery) and catcher Francisco Cervelli (broken hand) are also out. During the off-season, Rodriguezs name surfaced in an investigation of Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic in Florida linked with the distribution of performance-enhancing drugs. He met with investigators from Major League Baseball earlier this month. ' ' '
