LeBron not enough as Stephen Curry, Warriors pull away in Game 5 victory - SI.com
Around him, Curry found brilliant support from Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green . Both have made the most of the Warriors’ full tilt into small ball. The ball pinged from a pressured Curry to a rolling Green to an open Iguodala to wherever it needed to go. It’s in the flow of those actions that the Warriors navigate around almost any obstacle. Their sequencing of smart players making the right reads makes it only a matter of time before Cleveland’s short, exhausted rotation is worked into a breakdown. There isn’t a cogent basketball reason for Cleveland’s duct-taped rotation to hold against a juggernaut like Golden State. Yet the last five games have made perfectly clear how little the bounds of logic apply when James involved. The best basketball player alive can go head to head against one of the best defenders in the league and still give his team’s offense everything it needs to survive. That the Cavs ultimately didn’t win Game 5 is less significant than the fact James's performance—a triple double with 40 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists—made a victory plausible at all under these impossible circumstances.
