The Finals Stat, Game 5: Celtics’ inconsistent offense a key factor in these Finals

The Golden State Warriors are one win away from their fourth championship in eight years. They trailed the NBA Finals 1-0 and 2-1, but have handed the Boston Celtics their first consecutive losses of the playoffs to take a 3-2 series lead.

The Warriors lost a 16-point lead in Game 5 on Monday, but recovered with a 13-0 run spanning the third and fourth quarters and cruised to a 104-94 victory. Not only was Stephen Curry off the floor for most of that 13-0 run, but he failed to make a 3-pointer for the first time in 133 career playoff games. And the Warriors won by double-digits anyway, getting a huge game from Andrew Wiggins (26 points, 13 rebounds and some terrific defense).
