LeBron James and Kyrie Irving provided 41 points apiece. Last night’s amazing 112-97 victory secures a Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors.
James also had 16 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and three blocked shots.
Monday night was the first time a pair of teammates went for 40-plus points in the same NBA Finals game. And now the Cavaliers still have hopes of another historic achievement: becoming the first team to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the Finals.
For the Warriors, Stephen Curry was below average, missing 13 of his 21 shots and 9 of 14 3-pointers. Klay Thompson made 6 of 18 3-pointers in the first half but went 0-for-5 in the second half.
