Video highlights: Cavaliers down Warriors 112-97 - Game Five

The Cleveland Cavaliers have kept their finals hopes alive with a 112-97 win over the Golden State Warriors in Game Five.

The visitors were lead by two virtuoso performances by Kyrie Irving (41 points, six assists) and LeBron James (41 points, seven assists, 16 rebounds) as they coasted to a comfortable victory, bringing the series score to 3-2.

The Warriors lacked physicality without their All Star forward Draymond Green, suspended for striking out at James in Game Four.

Their MVP Steph Curry was relatively quiet yet again, Klay Thompson carrying his side with 37 points.

The series now heads back to Cleveland for Game Six on Friday (NZT).
