The Warriors took a 3-2 lead last night in Oakland to be one victory away front their first title since 1975. Stephen Curry made seven three pointers and dropped 37 points in the 104-91 win. Behind a sellout crowd in their golden-yellow shirts, Curry hit some big shots in the final minutes as the Warriors took complete control of the game and possibly the series. As a result, they are now in a position they haven't been in 40 years.
Lebron James had 40 pints, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists. It wouldn't be enough as no Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love has made it much tougher for Lebron and Cleveland. Draymond Green had 16 points and nine boards for Golden State, Andre Iguodala added 14 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists, and reserve Leandro Barbosa scored 13 points.
The winner of Game 5 in a 2-2 series has won the title 12 of the last 14 times. There were 20 lead changes and 10 ties. James made a 34 footer to pull the Cavs to within one, 80-79. Curry answered with a step back three and Klay Thompson added another one of his 12 points on the night. Curry hit a dagger to seal the game. Game 6 is tomorrow night in Cleveland. The Warriors are looking to win their first final in 40 years while the Cavs hope their season doesn't end with the visitors hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy on their home court.
