Welcome back to the BAE Index.
Setting the tone
The Cleveland Cavaliers are the more physical team of the two, and thrived by slowing the pace of the game in the first three games of the NBA Finals. Even though they went small tonight against the Warriors, J.R. Smith still wanted to set the tone.
He was called for a foul, btw/obvs.
LeBron is ridiculous
He was doing things like this all night.
Playoff Barnes
The Cavs brought in Timofey Mozgov for some rare minutes, and Harrison Barnes said “uh uh” and put him on a poster. Luckily for Mozgov, they don’t let kids hang posters in Russia, so they’ll never know.
LeBron Jam3s
LeBron James hit a loooooong 3-pointer, keeping his Cavs in the game. Not to be outdone, though…
Steph Catching Fire
Steph Curry struggled during much of the first four games of the series, but he got back to what he does best here. Dribbling in circles, making the defender move his feet, stepping back and nailing a 3-pointer.
What’s the noise? The Oracle Arena going crazy!
Iggy Iggy Iggy
Andre Iguodala is doing everything, man. He might just win Finals MVP when this is done.
Curry with the shot boy
Did I mention that Stephen Curry found his swag?
Dagger. Warriors up 3-2.
