NBA title in reach after Warriors win Game 5 over Celtics

In his biggest game yet in his eight-year career, Andrew Wiggins had 26 points and 13 rebounds, Klay Thompson scored 21 points, and the Golden State Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics 104-94 to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA finals.

Although Curry scored 16 points and eight assists, his NBA record streak of 132 straight postseason games with at least one three ended along with his NBA-best streak of 233 consecutive games with a three between the regular season and playoffs.

If the Celtics win Thursday, they will travel to San Francisco for a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday. All five games so far have been decided by at least 10 points.
