Only nine teams in NBA history have come back from a 3-1 playoff deficit to win the series. On Monday night, the Warriors will try to become the 10th. Another win would send them to the finals for the second straight year, where they'd once again get to face the Cavaliers, the very team Golden State knocked off last season in order to capture the franchise's first title since 1975.

Can the Warriors complete the comeback, or will the Thunder pull off a road upset?

All odds point against the Thunder slowing Golden State down. The Warriors, thanks to their record-setting 73-win regular season, get to host Game 7. Golden State lost just twice at home during the regular season and the home team has won 100 out of the 124 Game 7s that have taken place in NBA history.
If Oklahoma City plans on pulling off the upset, it will have to come up with some sort of plan to slow down Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The two combined for 72 points in Game 6 and connected on 17 of their 32 three-point attempts. If the Splash Brothers are allowed to replicate that performance the Warriors will likely be celebrating another Western Conference title by the end of the night.
The Thunder will also need better outputs from Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. The pair was just 20-of-58 from the field on Saturday night and especially struggled down the stretch. Oklahoma City scored just 18 points in the fourth quarter and turned the ball over six times over the final three minutes of the game.
