We're going back to Cali. To state the obvious, Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors will be pivotal.
We enter Monday's matchup with the series tied 2-2 and the knowledge that one team will leave the Chase Center one win away from hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy, while the other will have its back against the wall.
What is less obvious: How the latest installment of this fascinating series will play out. The combined score throughout the first four games is 422-421, with the Warriors holding the ever-so-slight advantage.
While Games 1 and 4 were similar in that the road teams used impressive fourth-quarter runs to secure wins, Games 2 and 3 were similar in that they were both relative blowouts.
