The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors are set to tip off Game 5 of the NBA Finals tonight at 6 PM EST inside the raucous Oracle Arena. The Cavs staged a tremendous bounce back performance in Game 4, hitting an NBA Finals record 24 three pointers en route to a 137-116 victory. LeBron James poured in a 31 point, 10 rebound, 11 assist triple double while Kyrie Irving added 40 points to force a Game 5.
Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade, who played four strong years with James as members of the Miami Heat, attended Game 4 to witness the performances. He had multiple funny exchanges with Irving and players on the court. Before the big game on Monday night, Wade was having a Twitter Q&A with fans, and one of the questions he was asked was who he thinks will win Game 5.
From the sound of it, Wade isn’t in attendance for Game 5, but he’s rooting for the Cavs to force a Game 6 back in Cleveland and push the NBA season at least three more days.
