Golden State Warriors: 5 Keys To Closing Out The Finals

After the Golden State Warriors‘ Game 5 victory Sunday night, it’s 15 down, one to go. With Game 6 tomorrow night at Quicken Loans Arena, the Dubs will be looking to close out the 2015 NBA Finals and bring the franchise its first championship in four decades.

The Warriors are riding high at the moment after beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in two straight games. Even with LeBron James‘ excellence on full display, Golden State has proven they’re the better overall team with back-to-back convincing wins that have Cleveland staring down the barrel of the elimination gun.
