The BEST #NBAFinals Performances Since 2015!

They've always bounced back so far, but a tough start here tonight. Pass deflected. Curry down the other end, Tatum in pursuit, layup is good. Well, they've gotten good, really good shots in transition. Much needed offense from somebody else, and Wiggins has provided. Gary Payton pokes it away. Payton, the elite defender, off the bench. Curry steps back, three-pointer, got it. Steph Curry, his first three. Curry, another long-distance shot. It's good, Steph Curry. Back-to-back long-distance threes and a five-point lead for the Warriors. Celtics call timeout. White closes out, Curry drives high off the glass. It's only the first seven-point possession in a playoffs as Poole misses that one since way back in 2002 on the follow. Staying there for the Celtics Hall of Famer. Curry, oh, Curry, with a beautiful move and off the glass. They don't really have a role game. Curry gets free, gets some contact, layup, got it, and one. Steph Curry felt the bump. He is a unique individual and a gifted, along with the all-time great, talent. And that strength right there, too, playing through the contact of Jalen Brown. Curry said he's still good with the energy, the force, the pace his Warriors are playing with, but he said the one thing they have to do better is move the ball. He said we just had seven assists in that first half. Guys are playing so hard. Wiggins, look at a post-up, Tatum. Curry launches a three. It's good, Steph Curry with his third three-pointer. Well, look at Williams guarding the screener, Looney, back in the paint, which gives... That's what Steve Kerr was so upset with in game three. He said we just didn't box out, they got crushed on the boards. Curry, it's good, Steph Curry from downtown. And here's the shot we're talking about. You're right, Robin Williams got an effect, Steph Curry coming off that screen, but good job by Derek White fighting over the screen and contesting. And maybe some second shots. Curry again, oh, Steph Curry from way downtown. He's furious, there was contact there. That was all created, that space by an excellent cut by Tatum. Curry to Payton. Payton at all time in the world. Curry, three-pointer, puts it in. 33 for Steph Curry. This is an open shot, but he realizes Steph Curry's coming, waits for him to get behind that three-point line unselfishly. Smart harassing. Curry now has Williams on him, looking to unload it. Flips it up, shot is good. Steph Curry dancing, prancing, and puts it in. Curry to Green. Back to Curry. Step back, three-pointer. Bang! Steph Curry drills the three. That's a six-point Warriors lead, timeout Boston. Curry was able to get just enough room from White to knock in another incredible shot. El Monte Williams, as Mikhail Bridges running the floor, shot blocked by Antetokounmpo. Once again, comes out of nowhere and throws it off the backboard. Giannis down the other end, he takes it home. They have the supersized lineup right now with Portis, Giannis. Antetokounmpo inside. And Lopez all playing together. Phoenix has to get more quick passing sequences. It's too much hand holding on to the ball. The spin move, the finish. Giannis does it again. In over eight minutes here in this second. An 18-point turnaround. Antetokounmpo gets inside, a little jump hook. Giannis tied up, finds Holiday. Holiday trying to get it going, he's one for 11. Antetokounmpo gets inside, layup, he banks it home. Putting Giannis into the pick and roll, and Paul's finding enough room and separation to get off his midrange. And that in the paint jumper for Antetokounmpo. 17 points here in the first half. Holiday was brilliant in Game 5, one of the best games of his life. Antetokounmpo gets the roll, count it, and one. The only one that has anything going at the offensive end. Great strength to get that shot up and in after taking a pretty hard hit from Bridges. Giannis tries a three. It's good! Giannis Antetokounmpo with his first three-point make of the night. Assistant coaches is down in Arizona State was Doug Collins, who coached Drew at Philadelphia. But he was an all-star with the Sixers. Antetokounmpo lays it up and in. Antetokounmpo calling for it. Goes against Crowder, gets inside, banker won't go. The rebound, back up and in! Group strength from Giannis. Ability to turn the corner, take a lot of contact, pursue the basketball with that grown man strength. Back to Giannis. Backs in, leans, pulls up, jump shot, got it! Giannis Antetokounmpo dominating right now. In there with Booker. Again, paint plays well in the first half when they were really struggling offensively. Holiday inside, Antetokounmpo lays it up and in! Middleton off the bounce, throws it up, bank shot, no good! Antetokounmpo with the follow! Middleton inside, nice entry, pass! And the slam from Antetokounmpo! Giannis continue to take over on the offensive end. Catch, finish in traffic. Over everybody. The presence. Turns down an easy shot on Duncan Townsend and fades away from the rim. It's the presence of Giannis. Antetokounmpo off the glass! 47 points, Bucks by 8! Good ball denial from Crowder. Adelaide looking. Inside Antetokounmpo. Puts up the one-hander, shot is good! Does it again! 50 points. Only the 7th player in the history of the finals to have a 50 point game. In game 2 he was terrific. Had 33 points, 9 assists, 9 rebounds. Misses the free throw. And the Lakers with the early lead. Jimmy Butler drives and finishes. Butler was 13 assists to career high for him in game 2. And with a steal down the other end. They throw it ahead to Butler. And Butler throws it down. And Frank Vogel calls timeout. That your defense creates some offense here. The deflection from behind by Butler leads to a Butler dunk. And an 8 point lead. Butler drives, spins, goes right to the rim. And gets it a fall. Jimmy Butler now 6 points, 3 assists. It's a 20 to 9 lead for Miami. Olenek to Butler. Butler to the basket. A couple of fakes. Backs away and nails it. Jimmy Butler aggressive. Realized he has a matchup that he likes. Gets to his spot. Look at the creating space by fading away from. Butler goes right at Danny Green and banks him home.

Goes right at him and banks it home. He gets knocked down. Pressure's going to be on the other Heat players to shrink the floor where LeBron sees bodies. James Garning, Butler got caught on the Olenek screen and banks it home. They were switching Duncan Robinson on LeBron. Tonight, he's showing and then getting back to his initial man. Butler drives. Oh, sweet fake from Jimmy Butler. Turns and scores. With everything he does on the floor and off the court. One of the smartest players who's played in the NBA. Butler, tough fall away. Shot is good.

And I'm not letting you off the hook. Gets to his spot. Jimmy Butler. And the Heat go up by 9 with 1.13 remaining. This is the pace that the Raptors really want. They force the pace in game 3. Leonard on the pull up. Drills the jumper. Looks like he had a layup there. They swing it. And Leonard answers with a 3. Leonard gets it. Gonna have to shoot it quickly. He does and scores. It was such a smart play by Gasol. Leonard turns, shoots and scores. And Leonard the rebound. Leonard 11 points, 3 boards. And his team down by 11. Hits again. Kawhi Leonard. Well I think they want to get more speed on the floor. As Leonard knocks the 3 and the lead is cut to 1. Roland State turns it over. Turnovers 11 to 4. Only 4. To Toronto.

Kyle Lowry and Steve Kerr having a lively conversation about the way the calls are being made. Oh gorgeous feed. Bogut to Curry. And he hasn't always just been one of the best defensive players in the league. He's an all time great defensive player. All time great three point shooter. Curry foul line jumper. 45 for Steph Curry. Most points he's had in a playoff game. And on the first possession you see just like Houston did. Switching one through five as James gets a layup. And quickly to the baskets. Durant lurking to help. James on Steph. Three pointer's good. From downtown in the playoffs. And misses that one just 28 percent from that distance. Shot inside for Klay Thompson as he goes back to the locker room. David West was following his teammate. James pull up jump shot. That's good. James now 11 points. I mistakenly credited a basket to Tristan Thompson earlier. LeBron James with a heck of a start offensively looking to take and make big shots. Comes off screen and roll all by himself. Makes the warrior defense. Great to see him back on the floor. James drives past Livingston and throws it down. LeBron James so aggressive offensively to start. He's got 14. I mean if you're David West you've got to get turned. You should be in help. You're not seeing the ball. You're guarding Larry Nance Jr. like he's Kevin Love. James with West isolated on him. Steps back. That's a two pointer. Game 7 Boston. Game 7 Houston. James drives and finishes. Holds it up high. LeBron James now 7 of 8 from the field. Spectacular start for LeBron and the Cavs. They're not going to get into an up and down game with this dynamic Warriors offense. James fakes the three. Drives again. Bell was guarding him in layup. There was no help again. James goes inside. Sitting down. An eventful six minutes for McGee. As James sets and fires and nails the three pointer. Kevin Love the rebound. James fires a three. That's good. LeBron James from way downtown and they've tied the game. Mark could put into play against an average Major League baseball player. One out of 10. Sean McNally the great Pittsburgh Pirates scout said she was all city. James again from downtown. That's the way LeBron brings it up the floor and pulls up from deep. Not much you can do with that.

Double clutches and puts it in. 49 for James. And LeBron with the hang time seven point lead in game one. Game two was a wire to wire victory for Golden State. Kevin Durant's first shot is good. When the ball reverses he's ready to make plays. Curry from downtown misses. Durant snatches the rebound away from Love. Banks in the follow. John Livingston in the game for Golden State as well. Durant from beyond the arc rattles home. The crossover, the pull up. Shot's good. And they've come back. For Kevin Love, 15 points, nine rebounds. Durant's shot is good.

Draymond Green has one man to beat. Kevin Durant with 27. Pass inside to Durant. Beautiful look again. Draymond Green with his seventh assist. But that's the luxury for the Warriors stars. They don't have to always play great. Durant gets the bounce. Durant has the mismatch on him. It's George Hill waiting for some space. Rises and scores. Kevin Durant torching the Cavaliers. He's got 34. You see the isolation. The smaller George Hill defending Kevin Durant. That's just getting to your spot and elevating. That's all-time great offense. Not much you can do. He's six of eight from the field. Four rebounds. That's a blocked shot. Durant rises and connects. He has been scalding tonight. A playoff high for Hood in his 2018 postseason. Durant again. Kevin Durant's got the rebound. He's got 38. Durant goes at Kevin Love. Pulls up. Jumper. Got it! Shot clock at five. Kevin Durant way outside. Delivers! Kevin Durant from downtown. It's a six-point game. That's the same spot in game three last year. I mean, my goodness. Kevin Durant. Put the kids to sleep. The place was going crazy. They like to call this building Loudville. As JaVale McGee gets inside. Misses. The tip from Steph Curry is up and in. Even a fan got ejected last year as the Cavs got that win. Ball knocked away. Picked up by Curry. Curry drives inside and banks it home. Coach talked about the effort Kevin Durant is putting in to set the tone early in this ballgame. Curry trying to draw the foul. Still gets it to go! I had the pleasure of coaching this guy. Curry jumped in. Clear contact by J.R. Smith on his head. But these type of shots will drain you as an opponent. He's doing the right thing. Be ready to shoot the basketball, but so are the Cleveland Cavaliers. Off the turnover. Curry sets, fires, three-pointer. That's good. Steph Curry from downtown. Curry fakes, drives on hill. Scoop layup is good. Steph Curry 14 points here in his third three-pointer. He's got 17. And if you're LeBron James, you've got to be up on that screen. And if Curry sees any light, he lifts it. He's more than capable of knocking this shot down. Curry fires away and hits Steph Curry from way downtown. Here he slips. Gets some separation from James. But that's still an absolute big-time shot. Great balance. Curry gets free. Two-point shot for Curry. He's got 22. And this is the largest lead of the night. A 13-point advantage. Curry drives, gets inside. Layup banks it home. Steph Curry with 25 points in 28 minutes. Curry guarded by Nance. Looking for an opening. Green, as you see, on the floor. Curry fires a three and knocks it down. Good job by Larry Nance and Curry from downtown. One player who's got finals MVP for a losing team. That's Jerry West. Steph Curry knocks down another three, capping off a spectacular shooting night. 37 points for Curry. But Julia gives up another open shot. Looked like he had a layup. Durant drives and finishes. Played like 12 games in 40-some days. 11, Mike. He has 14 rebounds in 30 minutes. And he had a plus. He was a plus 19. Lost it. JaVale McGee, who just checked in, throws it ahead. Here's Durant across the lane. Darren Williams has come on now for Cleveland. Passed up some good veterans on the bench. Passed all the way across and Durant throws it down. Pushes it. You've got to start talking, communicating. Kyrie Irvin, because of the three-point threat, sells out and Durant does the rest. Green gets the rebound. Livingston, lost the handle, finds Durant. Durant again, the long strides and the easy finish. James the crossover. Stolen by Clay Thompson. Durant down the lane. You've got to stop the ball here. But J.R. Smith leads the ball to guard Curry in the corner. That's just too easy. You can't turn the ball over against these great warriors. Durant has Kyrie Irving on him and easily scores. He's got 22. Going to post up Steph Curry, well defended and stolen. Here's Clay Thompson, cross court to Durant. Fires a three. Got it. Like I was saying, the pace of the game for them, it's not as frenetic. Durant makes it look so easy. Off the steal. Here comes Curry. Finds Durant. Durant for three. And six boards. Average six boards in the conference finals. Durant hands another three-pointer. 38 for Kevin Durant. Golden State, meanwhile, goes out games. Kyrie Irving knocks down a three. And it's 6-0 in less than a minute. Warriors pushing off a made shot. But if you're the Cavs, you're fighting for your lives. That can't happen. Kyrie Irving, two for two. LeBron James falling away. Thompson mistimed his jump but still gets the rebound. Back to James. He's fouled and won. Tristan Thompson on the offensive board. That's the energy and effort, Coach, that they need from Tristan. Kyrie Irving, one dribble. Bank shot's good. Livingston on Irving. Puts up the three. Shot's good. Kyrie Irving from downtown. James inside on a gorgeous feed from Kevin Love. Irving, little shake and bake. Again, scoop layup off the glass. He is a master at that move. Already has one technical. It's only his third technical and he's won tonight already. Irving for three. His third three-pointer of the first half. Tell you how special Kyrie Irving is on the offensive end. Look at him handle the basketball and utilize the screen. Thompson goes under. Irving finds James. Wide open for three. That's good. Forcing him to defend. Either Kyrie or LeBron's coming off. James on the drive. Gets to the rim. Quickly and precisely in short spaces to open himself up for three-point shots. Irving stops on a dime and drills the jumper. Kicks it out to Richard Jefferson. Irving, three-pointer. Straight on is good. Kyrie Irving lighting it up from downtown. For affirmation. Curry stripped. Eighth turnover for Golden State. And James drops it in. Irving to drive. Scoop layup on the other side. Their best player. But they're a team that certainly has the ability to come back. Right now they have no answers to stop this team and to stop Kyrie Irving. Big time plays. This is good defense with better offense. Comes off the screen. Gets to his spot. Look at the finish with the left hand over seven foot. Kevin Love with the steal. James drives inside. Still goes in. And a foul. Here comes the train. Thompson. Green. Does not matter. Grown man move by LeBron. Never got a hand on it. It was not blocked. And the foul was called. That's on Clay Thompson. That's his third. He's on Kyrie Irving. Irving gets to the foul line. Back to James. Fakes a three. Cavaliers. Kyrie Irving drives again. Scores again. And a foul. Another sensational move that Irving has 27. In NBA Finals history. Led by that man. Again off the pick and roll. This is a spectacular player. I know we raved about the team that you're facing. The Warriors. Outstanding third quarter team. They score back to back hoops. Let's talk about it in the timeout. And James was with Miami. James drives. And finishes. Petruja very upset. James drives. Scoop layup. Pass to himself. And he throws it down. Nowhere to go. Caught in the air. Nothing else to do. Throws it off the backboard. Golden State has a foul to give here. James steps back for three. And hits. James with 29 points. And this presentation of the finals continues. This is the closest it's been in the second half. Irving contests a jumper. Knocks it down. 34 for Kyrie Irving. 21 of 35. 60 percent. Irving drives on Thompson. Left hand. It throws it up and gets the bounce. James holding. Shot clock at five. James pulls back. That's a two pointer. Celebrating starting here at Quicken Loans Arena. Irving Petruja. He's a scoring machine. Irving. One on one gets to his spot. Elevates. And knocks it down. Then looks at Dwayne Wade and says I told you so. Durant. Guarded by Thompson. Gets inside. Lefty layup. And the first field goal for Golden State. Jefferson. Tried to play physical the other night against Durant. And Durant knocks it down. His third field goal. Durant. Three pointer. See I think Tristan Thompson was fouled before he went into the actual shooting. Durant from way outside. Drills a three pointer. And brings it back out. Durant tries again. Three. That's good. Knocks it down the other end. What a pass. That's a shot if you're the Warriors. You'll find it. Green. Durant with a big height advantage. Excellent recognition from Draymond Green. Just under three and a half to play in the third. Durant has an opening. And nails the three. This is why Kevin Durant picked the Golden State Warriors. He wanted this stage and he has taken advantage of the platform. They've been in the second half. They've trailed this game by as many as 17. Durant. Jump shot. Got it. Another 30 point performance in these finals for Durant. Comes to help. Durant. Pass inside. Back out to McCall. The rookie finds Durant. Steps back for three. Pumps it in. And seven more points for Kevin Durant. Durant gets away from Carver. All the way to the rim. The guy has been so good that if I was Harrison Bonds watching this game right now, the former champion for the Warriors, I'd say I understand. The guy is that great of a basketball player. That's a fair bet. James. The Irving. Three pointer. And Kyrie Irving knocks it down. Durant just moved forward but he says it's hurt us and he knows that. But the team would love nothing more than to clinch without him here tonight. And Joe as Irving makes a dandy move inside. Because of the versatility, even in those pick and roll, he sniffs out the action that they're running and he automatically switches as LeBron knocks down the long ball. The guy who starts ahead of him. And so to willingly come off the bench for someone that you're better than is LeBron James. Straight on. Knocks down his second three pointer and they've tied the game. A small lineup in there. McAdoo is the tallest player. He's playing the five. James drives and easily finishes. And James off to a good start. He has nine. Well, with Iguodala out and no shot blocking in the game, James in semi-transition gets into the game. No fouls to give. James has the perimeter game going. Chips it to Irving. And we saw Steve Kerr take out Andre Iguodala. I agree with it because he's matching his minutes as Kyrie Irving knocks down the jump shot. So your centers out there are Spates and Kevin Love. Kyrie Irving's jump shot is good. Irving has back-to-back 30-point games. Irving. Crossover. Pull up. Got it. But he couldn't get it to him. Here's Irving. Steps back. Kyrie Irving. Beautiful jumper from Irving. What a first half he's had. James puts his head down. Drives and finishes. LeBron James ties the game. LeBron James drives. Kicks it back out. Shumpert. Shumpert with a good look. James the rebound. And the putback. 16 points and 8 rebounds for LeBron James. Taps it again with 23. James steps back. 7 of 13 from the field. Now the key is who's going to shoot. Did they knock it into the shooter or is it Varazhou going to be? We saw that earlier. Irving pokes it away. Comes up with a steal on the lazy pass. And Kyrie Irving banks it in. James with 18 as well. Spates gives him some room. James knocks it down. This might be the best we've seen his outside jumper consistently in the playoffs for a half. Finds the next pass. James the drive. James the finish. 22 for James. James fakes. James drives. James finishes and the foul. Not a chance for a three-point play to tie the game. That might be different tonight without Draymond Green who plays the most minutes of anybody on Golden State. Irving gets free. Banks it in and a foul. Bogut picks up yet another. This is the right play. A jump shot. Bogut with a bit of a shove. James with four to shoot. He's going to have to knock up a three. And does. LeBron James with his third three-pointer. Picks him up on the switch. Now Barnes switches on him. Irving the floater. Banks it in. Kyrie Irving pulling on a clinic. Three-point Cavaliers lead. Love finds James who got free and an easy two. This is the largest lead of the game for Cavaliers. James grabs another. Irving steps into a three. Knocks it down. Kyrie Irving from downtown. Tristan that is the rebound. He fouled him again. He pushed him down low right there. LeBron James with the left hand. An assortment of drives to the basket. He's got 32. Livingston seven points off the bench. Steve Caritell and his team continue to move without the basketball. Irving again from downtown. James steps back. He tries another three. That's good. LeBron James from downtown. James on the bench. How much rest can they afford? Irving drives past Curry. Pull up shot. He banks it in. We're going to need you if you're the Cavaliers. James jump shot again. All night long he's been hitting from the perimeter. Irving slides inside. Kyrie Irving does it again. He's got 33. Just offensive brilliance right here. Great defense. The fade. The use of the glass. Irving on the drive. Bank shot. It's good. Kyrie Irving again. A sensational offensive talent. Nearly falls. Drives now. Spins back. The balance. The handle. And the ability to create just enough separation to get a clean look. His 14th. Irving from three. Bang! Kyrie Irving from way downtown. James against Rush. Leans in. Tried to draw the foul. Got him up. Count it. And one. Irving is too strong. Thompson chased by LeBron. James hooked away from behind. Then releases. And Curry has to back off as James throws it down. James against Curry. Backs it in. 8-0. By Kyrie Irving. Irving fakes. Drives. James on the throw down. James down low. Back up top. Thompson running and finishing. Just look at the effort by Tristan Thompson. Number 13 in white. Gets the outlet. This is a foot race. That's a guy that wants to see a game 7. Beautiful basketball. Follow him again. On the attack. Goes to the goal. Left handed. Lays it in. Well this is another at the end of the first. James to Thompson. Oh what a pass from LeBron James. In transition. James. Puts up the three. And nails it. LeBron James from downtown. Steph Curry into pick and roll action and forcing him to defend. Alley-oop to Thompson. James a crossover. The layup off the glass. LeBron James absolutely devastating in transition. Richard Ordante-Jones inside. Layup is good. Irving misses. Tristan Thompson calls in the rebound. His 11th of the game. Finds James. Here tonight he's missed 14 straight shots. Blocks the shot there. Good recovery from Barnes. J.R. Smith hits a three. Way downtown. Finds Thompson. James on the attack. Left handed once again. Lays it in. Alley-oop to James. Wow. Golden State didn't score. As James lines it up and hits a three. LeBron James his second three pointer. Green went for the steal. Lost his balance. James gets to the paint. Puts up the shot and puts it in. You can't just leave Tristan Thompson out there on an island. Irving misses. James offensive rebound. Back up and in. Shot clock winding down. Inside Jefferson. Irving fakes the three. To James. Layup banks it in. Timeout Golden State. Finish it off and force a game seven after trailing 3-1 in the series. J.R. Smith for three. Bang. Trying to stay in front. Falling away. It's good. Home game of the season for the Cavaliers. James floats it up and Thompson throws it down. Recognizing who is defending. Where the help is coming from. Little lob pass in the air. A thing of beauty. And Thompson does the rest. Playing with five fouls. Defending LeBron James. James throws it inside. Again to Thompson. Tristan Thompson. 15 points. 15 rebounds. It's bedlam here in Cleveland. Perry blocked by James. That's the first ejection J.R. Smith. McAdoo's in the game. James Jones gets off the bench.
