Game 5 of the NBA Finals pulled out all the stops, and we’ve curated Twitter to bring you the best moments and reactions from this thrilling game.
We’re just going to say it right now, Game 5 was easily the best game of the 2019 NBA Finals. The defending champion Golden State Warriors were on the ropes, and the Splash Brothers managed to will them to one final game at Oracle Arena.
So, with that, we curated Twitter to bring you the best moments and reactions from Game 5. Grab a bag of popcorn, sit back and enjoy.

Game 5 brought us life, but it also brought us dread. Kevin Durant re-injured his right calf, and we all went into “pour out a 40 for KD” mode.

Well, not everyone was feeling sad.
There is absolutely no excuse to cheer when a player gets injured.

Yes, Warriors fans believe they can make history, and after tonight’s gut-checking win, I don’t blame them for going with hope.
Now, let’s check out some reactions from We The North. This should be a joy to watch.

2 bad play calls by the raps coaching staff at the end. Called a time out when your superstar is hot (10 straight pnts) That killed the momentum. Den didn't call a TO when you needed to set up a game winning play.. @Raptors #NBAFinals #WeTheNorth @DGreen_14 #RaptorsvsWarriors

Really? Do any Raptors fans really think that they’re going to go into Oracle Arena and beat the Warriors for a third straight time?
Tweet of the night goes to Jenny Rose Almazan, who summed up the feeling of Dub Nation perfectly with this impeccable tweet:

This is amazing. I didn’t know the Warriors had a college fight song. See ya on Thursday.
