GOLDEN State needs to get Andrew Bogut and David Lee back fully healthy to build on their 2012-13 achievement under coach Mark Jackson.

Eliminated today 94-82 by savvy San Antonio in front of another raucous sell-out crowd at Oracle Arena in Oakland, the future still looks rosey.

The Spurs moved on to the Western Conference final, which tips-off on Sunday in San Antonio against Memphis Grizzlies, most Aussie hoops fans keeping fingers crossed our own Patty Mills and Aron Baynes can end the season with championship rings.

Playing like a championship-calibre outfit, San Antonio mostly controlled Game 6, Tim Duncan with 19 points and six rebounds, Kawhi Leonard showing he is going to be something special with 16 points.

But as the Spurs worked to resist the Warriors' furious late rally, the game still in the balance, three plays summed it up pretty neatly.

The first was an open three-point look for Klay Thompson which did everything but go in.

Then his fellow "Splash Brother" Stephen Curry had an open look at a three which also refused to stay in the ring.

Fast-forward up the floor and Spurs guard Tony Parker, struggling all game, drains a triple.

Ballgame.

Parker shook off a bad start to score 10 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter.

Curry shot 10-of-25 for 22 points on a nagging left ankle and Jarrett Jack had 15 points as the injury-battered Warriors wore down.

Harrison Barnes, who started like a house on fire, hit the floor hard, a wound near his right eye requiring six stitches and his absence for the second half.

The fans stayed around and chanted "Warriors" and players mingled with them post-game, a bond which is sure to also stand Golden State in good stead next season.

Curry completed the postseason averaging 23.4 points and 8.1 assists and as the first Warrior to deliver 23-8 since Tim Hardaway in 1991.

And Barnes became the first rookie to average 16 points and six rebounds over 10-plus playoff games since David Robinson at San Antonio in 1990.

"The guys battled and gave me everything they had. I could not be prouder of any group I will ever coach," Golden State coach Mark Jackson said.

"I thank the fans and this organisation, and especially these guys."
