MANILA, Philippines – Like many of us, sports personalities and local celebrities were glued to television sets or on social media monitoring the thrilling Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The defending champions completed a rare comeback from a 3-1 playoff series deficit to barge into a second straight NBA Finals appearance, setting the stage for a rematch for the ages against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Warriors, playing before their raucous home crowd, had to claw out of a 13-point deficit in the first half against the dominant Thunder. But thanks to the combined 3-point shooting clinic by reigning back-to-back MVP Stephen Curry and backcourt partner Klay Thompson, Golden State pulled ahead in the third quarter and never looked back.
Check out reactions below from PBA players such as Barangay Ginebra's Mark Caguioa and celebrities such as Bianca Gonzales!
