Warriors oust Blazers in five

STEPHEN Curry was honored with his second-consecutive league MVP award before leading Golden State to a 125-121 victory over Portland as the Warriors advanced to back-to-back conference finals.

The night in Oakland started with Curry’s award for the first unanimous MVP trophy and ended with the star capping his 29-point performance with four free throws in the final 18 seconds to give the Warriors a 4-1 series victory over the Trail Blazers.

The Warriors advanced to their first back-to-back NBA semifinals since the 1974-75 and 1975-76 seasons by winning their eighth consecutive series-clinching game at home.

Golden State now awaits the winner of the Oklahoma City Thunder-San Antonio Spurs series, with the Thunder leading 3-2 ahead of today’s Game 6 in Oklahoma City.

In the earlier game, DeMar DeRozan tallied 34 points as the Toronto Raptors seized a 3-2 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinals series with a 99-91 win over the Miami Heat.
