The fact that Lebron was putting in GOAT type performances in the first 3 games somewhat masked the fact that Iguodala was still guarding him extremely well and today he shined on both ends of the floor, he's been the Warriors best so far this series, and by a fair margin IMO.

Warriors hit their shots, Cavs were ice cold, particularly JR who has had a shocking finals.

2011 was the only one of those where the game was still on the line late in the 4th, last year and today were blowouts. It's a bit of a misleading stat.

Two day turnaround helps.

It does. Whether that will be enough, not sure.

Come on man, I'm not a lebron fan but you can not hate on the guy this series, he is doing everything and has been remarkable thus far but he looked tired today, playing big minutes and most plays running through him is taking its toll, an extra days rest now but warriors confident and going back home, Gonna be tough for cavs now

Even if Warriors win the finals Lebron has added to his legacy in this series, with what he has had to work with he has been freakish, anyone thinking otherwise is just blindly hating and/or delusional.

Curry! caught some of the 4th, that guy is amazing! 2/6 in the finals is not a good look for Lebron. He is doing it all basically but just not good enough of a volume scorer to carry these bums to a ring, you cant ask much more of him than he has given though.

Happy to see GS win this.

Sends a good overall message - TEAM win's over individual brilliance.

More like team + individual brilliance of Curry.

James doesn't have a team capable to deliver said message.

Caught the second half on my lunch, those plays by Curry in the 4th were outta this world, it is a thing of beauty to watch. Big win by the Warriors and are just one game away now.

Cavs just don't have the legs in the last 5mins of these games, short rotation, playing hard and big minutes and it just gets to them late in the game, Lebron is playing out of his skin this series, forget the shooting % cause he is doing what he has to do and the fact they are close late in the games is a credit to him and what he has been doing this series.

Been a great series, hopefully Warriors can close it out cause if it gets to a game 7, they will get nervous even at home.

I actually didn't even think the Warriors played that well today apart from Curry. Thompson has been basically absent the whole finals. If Curry hadn't nailed a couple of well timed 3's they could have been in pretty deep trouble there.

They did enough to beat what was effectively one man though.

Could be wrong but kinda feel like Cavs had to win that one to keep the series alive. Only one days rest between games 5 and 6.

Yeah the one day rest is gonna hurt them, pretty quick turn around and it wont help them with their short rotation but they have nothing to lose next game so I expect them to come out strong and for Lebron to again put up big numbers but if its close heading to the 4th, then they will just run out of gas and Warriors will get them.

what the warriors have done is made the adjustments at the defensive end, not necessarily on lebron (albeit iggy and green are containing alot better than games 2 and 3), but against anyone who can support him eg shutting down mozgov this game, and JR is completely missing.
