After a series’ worth of struggles, Stephen Curry finally found his way toward some open space. Barely.
The NBA’s MVP nailed seven three-pointers on his way toward 37 points as his Golden State Warriors worked toward what could be a pivotal Game 5 win, downing the Cleveland Cava- liers by a 104-91 score. Curry managed 17 fourth quarter points in the con- quest, taking a 3-2 series lead as his W’s could take in the franchise’s first NBA cham- pionship in 40 years in Tues- day’s Game 6 in Cleveland.
After struggling to find consistent rhythm through- out the series, Curry went against Golden State ortho- doxy in relying on a litany of one-on-one fakes against fading Cavalier point man Matthew Dellavedova down the stretch. Needing just a scintilla of distance against the upstart Cavs guard, Curry rose up for seven three-point makes in 13 attempts, overcoming Le- Bron James’ second triple- double of these NBA Finals. James finished with 40 points, 14 rebounds, and 11

assists in the loss.
Golden State continued
its two-game tradition of going small, once again re- placing 7-foot center An- drew Bogut in the starting lineup with jack of all trades Andre Iguodala. And, once again, Iguodala responded with a gem of a game, con- tributing 14 points, eight re- bounds, seven assists and three steals alongside zero turnovers and it’s-as-best-as- I-can-do defense on James. “Center” Draymond Green, meanwhile, did yeo- man’s work in acting as a brute all-around force, adding 16 points, nine re- bounds, and five assists.
Just one game after the highest-scoring game of his NBA career, Cavs center Timofey Mozgov found
himself sitting to start the second half. Mozgov, who acted as Cleveland’s second- best option in a tough Game 4 loss with 28 points, only played spot minutes as both sides eschewed tradition and ran with their best five play- ers regardless of position and size.
Cleveland had its chances. For a while at least. The Cavs overcame a strong Golden State start, re- plete with great spacing and ball movement, to take a first quarter lead and remain competitive throughout. Game 5 was a two-point game as late as the 4:24 mark of the fourth quarter, with a potentially game-tying James jump hook from seven feet away from the goal going long. J.R. Smith showed a confident stroke in the first half, establishing a series high with 14 points, while Tristan Thompson once again crashed the offen- sive glass with five caroms on that end alongside five de- fensive rebounds on his way toa19and10nightinthe
loss.
The Cavaliers just could
not keep up.
