Kevin Durant congratulates teammates on win after leaving with injury

The Golden State Warriors were on the ropes. They trailed the NBA Finals 3-1 and they lost superstar Kevin Durant in the second quarter after just adding the former Finals MVP back to the lineup.

They trailed the Toronto Raptors by six with a little over two minutes left, but Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson showed off their championship hearts and led the Warriors back from the dead and to a 106-105 win in Game 5.

Golden State showed off what has made them champions three of the last four seasons and now the team heads back to The Bay for a Game 6 that could keep their dreams of a three-peat alive.

After the game was over, Durant made a post on his Instagram story to shout out his Warriors teammates.

Please be advised that the post below contains language that some might consider offensive.

Game 6 from Oracle Arena is set for Thursday as the Warriors will get one final game there before moving to the Chase Center in San Francisco for the 2019-20 season.
