PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Experience bred confidence for the Golden State Warriors, even when challenged by the upstart Portland Trail Blazers. 

No matter how far they were down, they’ve been through too much to ever think they’re out. 

»We just really understand what we’re capable of on both sides of the basketball,» Draymond Green said. »We’re never out of the fight. That’s just always our mindset.» 

The Warriors swept their way to a fifth straight NBA Finals, getting triple-doubles from Stephen Curry and Green in a 119-117 overtime victory on Monday night. 

The two-time defending champions overcame a double-digit deficit for the third straight game against the Blazers, back in the conference finals for the first time since 2000. 

Green had 18 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, and made a key 3-pointer in overtime. Curry added 37 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. They became the first teammates to have triple-doubles in the same playoff game. 

The Warriors will face the winner of the Eastern Conference finals between Toronto and Milwaukee. The Bucks lead that series 2-1 with Game 4 on Tuesday night in Canada. 

The Warriors came back from 17 down after erasing an 18-point deficit in Game 3 and a 17-point hole in Game 2.
