#5 Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Game 5, 2016 NBA Finals

Irving and James put up incredible numbers

There's a reason this game deserves a mention. The Warriors were up 3-1 in the NBA Finals and were looking to close out the series at their home court. The Cavaliers had their backs against the wall, they were playing in front of a raucous crowd and were under immense pressure.

They did have one advantage though, the heart and soul of the Warriors, Draymond Green was suspended for game 5 due to his late-game antics in game 4. The Cavaliers needed a miracle and it came in the form of 2 individuals, 2 superstars who put their team on their backs and led them to an unbelievable comeback - LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.

The two put up monstrous numbers scoring 41 points each as the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors 112-97 to force a game 6. It was a game that defines the character of a player and Irving and James surely showed great character.

There were a lot of other games that were truly spectacular but these are the ones that will truly remain in fans memories for years to come.
