OAKLAND, Calif. -- Silence one moment, pandemonium the next.

In 2.3 seconds, Andre Iguodala flipped the script on the Oklahoma City Thunder by hitting the biggest shot of his Golden State Warriors tenure.

Iguodala made a baseline fadeaway as time expired to lift the Warriors to a thrilling 116-115 victory over the Thunder on Thursday night, capping a back-and-forth game between two teams expected to contend for the Western Conference title.

'Those are the moments when your mind is just racing,' said Iguodala, who finished with 14 points and nine assists. 'When Klay (Thompson) threw the pass, I was thinking I could get to the basket. As soon as the ball hit my hands, my feet were set just to catch, turn around and shoot -- something I worked on a lot throughout my career. The situation was there and everything just worked out.'

Russell Westbrook's 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds remaining put the Thunder ahead after they trailed by 14 points early in the fourth quarter. Warriors coach Mark Jackson called a timeout, drawing up a play that gave Iguodala an option to shoot or pass, saying he thought the Thunder would just switch if Stephen Curry received the ball.

Iguodala took the inbounds pass from Thompson and rose up against Thabo Sefolosha for the winning 16-footer, sending the announced sellout crowd of 19,596 into a frenzy. Iguodala sprinted toward half court and was mobbed by teammates.

'That last timeout, it was pretty dark in that huddle,' Jackson said. 'You look up and you say, `How did they climb all the way back? How?' You start beating yourself up. That's when you have a moment. They looked at each other and realized there is still time left and we can execute because we work on it every day.'

Golden State trailed for just 23 seconds combined in its first three home games. The Warriors held a lead in each game -- against the Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings and Detroit Pistons -- of at least 27 points and won by double digits.

Not on this night.

The game started with an outpouring of offense and energy and never relented over 48 minutes.

There were 16 lead changes, nine ties and countless can't-believe-he-just-made-that shots. Neither team led by more than seven until the Warriors began to pull away late in the third quarter.

Or so it seemed.

Westbrook's 3 set off the Thunder's celebration just seconds before Iguodala's shot. Westbrook kissed his hand and was bumped by teammate Kevin Durant as both flashed grins near the scorer's table.

'It was fun until the last shot,' Durant said.

'I don't even know what happened,' Westbrook added. 'I was guarding Curry down in the corner, so I'm not exactly sure.'

Thompson scored 27 points and Curry had 22 points and nine assists for a Warriors team that made 14 of 23 shots from 3-point range.

But it was Iguodala's difficult midrange jumper that stole the spotlight -- the very reason Golden State signed the free agent away from Denver this offseason with a four-year, $48 million contract.

'He's exactly who we thought he was,' Jackson said. 'We're so fortunate to have him on this basketball team.'

Oklahoma City outrebounded Golden State 48 to 31, but couldn't put together enough stops to match a strong offensive effort from its three big stars.

Westbrook finished with 31 points, nine rebounds and five assists, Serge Ibaka had 27 points and 13 rebounds and Durant had 20 points, eight assists and seven rebounds as the Thunder lost for the second straight night to a top Western Conference team. Oklahoma City fell at the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.

The Thunder made six of their first seven from long range, shooting more than 70 percent overall midway through the second quarter under the direction of Durant and Westbrook. But 19 turnovers cost Oklahoma City more than anything, handing the Warriors more opportunities to do what they do best: shoot.

Reserve Draymond Green gave Golden State a 100-86 lead early in the fourth quarter, twisting his way for a layup after taking a sharp pass from Thompson. The Warriors still had to hold off a furious final push from the Thunder to earn by far their biggest win this young season.

'That was a great NBA game,' Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. 'Playoff intensity in November. Great crowd, great atmosphere. They're a great team. Couldn't ask for a better game. Unfortunately, somebody had to lose.'

Game notes
Durant was called for a technical foul in the final seconds of the first half after shoving Warriors C Andrew Bogut. ... Thunder C Kendrick Perkins wasn't with the team for the second straight game after his grandfather died Monday. He was raised by his grandparents in Beaumont, Texas. ... The Thunder fell to 33-8 following a loss since the start of the 2011-12 season, the best record in the NBA during that span. Oklahoma City was 17-4 after a loss last season.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The confetti was beginning to make its way from the ceiling to the floor, and Kevin Durant untucked his jersey, tapped his chest and pointed to his family in the crowd. The Oklahoma City Thunder's season was ending on the road in Game 7, as the Golden State Warriors held on for a 96-88 victory.

Durant found Dion Waiters first, and he hugged the guard at midcourt and patted him on the head. Durant then started shaking hands. He found Draymond Green, then Harrison Barnes, then over to Stephen Curry. As the party on the floor began, Thunder players headed for the tunnel, winding their way through the chaos. Durant was last, and he stopped for a moment on the far baseline.

The Thunder forward tried to will his team back in the game in the second half, as it weathered a barrage of 3s from Curry and Klay Thompson. Durant finished with 27 points, including seven straight that cut the lead to four with 1:40 left in the fourth. With the shot clock winding down, Curry drew a 3-point foul on Serge Ibaka, and the MVP sunk all three. Durant missed a pullup on the next possession, and the vision of an NBA Finals appearance by the Thunder began to disappear.

The disappointment of the final three games will sting for the entire summer -- especially if things don't go well starting July 1, when Durant officially becomes a free agent -- but the Thunder truly had a remarkable run.

Rewind to mid-February, when it felt like the entire season was unraveling. The Thunder lost eight of 12 coming out of the All-Star break, and the organization dealt with tragedy, as assistant coach Monty Williams' wife, Ingrid, was killed in a car accident. Then part-owner Aubrey McClendon died in a car crash. Then Waiters' brother was killed in Philadelphia.

The Thunder pressed forward and steadily improved as they adjusted under first-year coach Billy Donovan. They started defending more consistently and rolled ahead as the second-best offense in the league. But as a 55-win team that appeared a clear tier below the Spurs and Warriors, the perception was that the Thunder were nothing more than fodder for the true Western Conference elites.

That sentiment was affirmed when the Spurs blew the Thunder out by 32 points in Game 1 of the West semifinals. Everything that was wrong with the Thunder -- all the inconsistencies, the complacency, the lack of discipline and order -- came roaring to a head in that game. The Spurs embarrassed the Thunder, and whispers about Durant's future started growing into full voice.

Then the Thunder flipped the script. They stunned the Spurs in Game 2 and, after a split in OKC, did so a second time in Game 5. By Game 6, the Thunder looked like the superior team. They rolled into the Western finals against the Warriors full of confidence and belief and took Game 1 at Oracle. They lost by 27 in Game 2 but grabbed Games 3 and 4 to take a commanding lead.

With the Thunder losing in Game 7, the feeling is that this is some kind of collapse or choke. But two months ago, the thought that the Thunder would even be in this game seemed far-fetched. Tell any team that it could walk into Oracle for a Game 7 with a trip to the Finals on the line, and it would've taken it because that means one simple thing: You beat the mighty Warriors three times.

There was more growth by the Thunder in this postseason than at any point of the regular season. Steven Adams evolved into a beastly machine. Andre Roberson took his defense to another level while finding places to contribute offensively. Waiters stepped up at various times. Enes Kanter was vital in advancing past the Spurs. Both Durant and Westbrook elevated their games, especially on the defensive end. Donovan flexed some impressive coaching chops, including adjusting and reacting swiftly to various situations and using the full complement of his roster.

All this means the Thunder are extremely well-positioned to make their pitch to Durant this summer. The roster is still very young -- the top seven players in this postseason are all 27 or younger -- and Donovan is finding his voice. Even so, the Thunder didn't advance, and that's devastating because they know all too well that there is no guarantee of a return to this position a year from now.

But they once again illustrated that they're right there. The Thunder topped the Spurs, a team that would've been the best regular-season team in the past 20 years if it weren't for the Warriors, with whom the Thunder stood toe-to-toe for seven games.
