The Democratic presidential candidate arrived at half time of the game.

He made his way into the stands and greeted fans before taking a seat next to Lethal Weapon actor Danny Glover.

According to San Francisco reporter Joe Garofoli he said 'let's turn this thing around' when he showed up.

The Warriors were down 3-1 in the series, with many thinking they couldn't make it back.

The Warriors came out the victors in 2015.

On Monday night they started slowly and trailed at half time, but fought back in the second half and stormed to victory.

Members of an animal rights group took responsibility for rushing the stage at a Sanders rally in Oakland earlier on Monday.

Their actions caused Secret Service to jump in and protect the presidential candidate.

Sanders is campaigning in California ahead of the primary of June 7.

While speaking on Memorial day, at least four activists were detained by police when they attempted to get on the stage with the Vermont senator.

Secret Service hugged a flustered Sanders to get him out of the way of the activists who stormed the stage.

The Democratic presidential candidate was uninjured and resumed speaking as the activists were taken away.

Zach Groff, believed to be a member of the group Direct Action Everywhere, was quoted by KRON 4 as saying:

The pair waved to fans as they watched the Warriors storm to a historic victory despite trailing at half time

'Over a dozen animal rights activists with the network Direct Action Everywhere just rushed the stage of a Bernie Sanders Rally outside Oakland City Hall in California, demanding the candidate promise action to secure legal rights for nonhuman animals.'

It is also unclear if they were released or arrested after trying to get on stage with Sanders.

The senator began receiving Secret Service security in February, early into the primary season as he began to challenge Hillary Clinton for the nomination.

After the events of Monday night in Northern California, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said: 'It was handled professionally by the Secret Service.'
