*(Via The Sporting News) – The Warriors withstood, withstood, withstood. LeBron James was playing one of those games that has come to define him during these NBA Finals, while Golden State kept with him in any way possible.
Then the fourth quarter came. Stephen Curry lit up with 17 of his 37 points, and the Warriors won 104-91 Sunday night in Game 5 to put the Cavaliers on the brink of elimination. Game 6 is Tuesday night (9 p.m. ET, ABC) in Cleveland, and the Cavaliers now must regroup after consecutive blowout losses.
James totaled 40 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists and, perhaps most importantly, 45 minutes. His layup with 3 minutes, 20 seconds left in the third quarter gave the Cavaliers their final lead of the game at 65-63.
