NBA Finals 2022 -- Best sights and sounds from Celtics-Warriors Game 5

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.

So now what? Will Stephen Curry put on an encore performance of his spectacular 43-point Friday night outing? Or will Jayson Tatum — who managed just one basket while playing the entire fourth quarter of Game 4 — step up in a big way for the Celtics?

As the series shifts back to the West Coast, we've got you covered with the best sights and sounds from Game 5:

Jay-Z's «It's Alright» followed by «Change the Game» were heard pumping out of the speakers outside the Celtics locker room — where there is a mini makeshift workout area as well. Jay-Z is supposed to be in attendance tonight. He was at Chase Center for Game 1 of the Finals. — Ohm Youngmisuk

Chef Curry has entered the building. The Warriors star kept it casual and clean as he arrived back at his home arena.
