Series MVP Kevin Durant scored 39 points, and the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 129-120, in Game Five of the 2017 NBA Finals in Oakland on Monday night.
In what has been an exhilarating, tension-packed series (somehow despite all the blowouts), the Cavaliers and Warriors are all square at three games apiece. Which means basketball fans are getting that rarest of gifts: an NBA Finals Game 7.
With Thursday night's win, the Dallas Mavericks take a 3-2 series lead into Miami for Game 6 Sunday night.
No road team has ever won Game 6 in the NBA Finals. Can the Mavs do it?
