WASHINGTON, June 10 (Xinhua) -- The Golden States Warriors edged past the Toronto Raptors 106-105 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday and Golden State star Stephen Curry believes the biggest advantage is being at Oracle Arena one more time.
"It's an emotional roller coaster game tonight and we managed to stay alive in this series. Get on this flight tomorrow, go back home, and I think the biggest thing, the biggest advantage is being at Oracle Arena one more time, where our fans can really get behind us, and we're going to have to will ourselves for another 48 minutes to stay alive again," Curry said.
The Warriors now trail at 3-2 overall and Game 6 will be held in Oakland's Oracle Arena, the Warriors' home court.
Kevin Durant, who made a comeback after missing nine games for the Warriors, got hurt again in the second quarter of the game. Curry felt so bad for his teammate.
"Everybody gets so wrapped up in chasing championships and the greatness that you see on the floor, but life is more important in terms of caring about an individual. You can see the commitment and the challenges and just the what's been thrown at Kevin this whole year. And he gave us what he had, he went out there and sacrificed his body, and we know how it turned out," Curry said.
"I just feel so bad for him, to be honest, like that's nobody should have to go through something like that, especially with this stage that we have," he added.
