周一晚NBA的西部决赛勇士4-3胜雷霆，与骑士再度会师总决赛。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson carried the 73-win Warriors right back to the NBA finals, as Golden State rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 96-88 Monday night in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals.

    Now, Curry and Co. are playing for another NBA title — just as they planned since Day 1 of training camp in late September.

    “We survived by the skin of our teeth,” coach Steve Kerr said. “We were able to pull it out, and we’re moving on.”

    报道中的by the skin of one’s teeth就是“侥幸、勉强”。例如：

    The driver escaped by the skin of his teeth. He was just slightly injured in the accident, but his car was completely ruined.

    司机幸免于难，他在车祸中只受了轻伤，但汽车却完全报废了。
