2016 NBA Finals: Game 5: Cleveland Cavaliers @ Golden State Warriors Q-by-Q Reaction


Q4:

CLE 112 GSW 97

A big win for the Cavs as their championship aspirations are still alive. Sensational performances from LeBron James and Kyrie Irving as both scored over 40 points to help power Cleveland and ensure that a game 6 happens in Cleveland. The Warriors tried scratching and clawing to somehow pull off a remarkable game without Draymond Green in order to clinch a championship, but they got exploited big time without their all-around player. The Cavs live to fight another day. Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3:

CLE 93 GSW 84

LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, they're putting the Cavaliers on their backs during the 3rd quarter. As they continued to stay hot, the Cavs managed to add on to their lead and it looked like they were going to run away heading into the 4th quarter. The Warriors still made this a surmountable lead though despite a rough quarter as they couldn't buy a bucket or let alone turn the ball over. The question is do they have one more run left in them to clinch back-to-back titles heading into the 4th quarter?

Q2:

CLE 61 GSW 61

In these kinds of games, the stars shine the brightest. Wow, what a quarter. Klay Thompson was on another planet with the deep three pointers and LeBron James continues to exploit Draymond Green's absence and letting Oracle crowd add more fuel to the fire to his sensational performance. Like I said, this game is going to be a fight to the finish line. Onto the halftime report.

Q1:

CLE 29 GSW 32

You can say that this game is a lot more chippy in the wake of the Draymond Green suspension. The Oracle crowd is fired up and the Warriors are playing with more fuel to the fire. The Cavs are not going down quietly and they're taking full advantage of Green's absence. LeBron got off to an aggressive start, finding his shot early and attacking the basket at will. Curry quickly got to double figures once again. The forecast of this game is that this might be a fight to the finish.
