The two best basketball players on the planet were on top of their game Sunday night.
So naturally, one of the best plays of the NBA Finals’ Game 5 was made by … Harrison Barnes?
Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors outdueled LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to move within one game of an NBA title. But early in the fourth quarter, it was Barnes who temporarily stole the spotlight.
Barnes’ vicious lefty slam over Timofey Mozgov and Mike Miller extended Golden State’s lead to six points. It also was part of a forgettable night for Mozgov, who had zero points in just nine minutes of playing time.
Barnes only tallied eight points, but he certainly made the most of them, as he also slammed home a rebound over LeBron James earlier in the game.
