Game 5 Recap: The "They Are Who We Thought They Were" Game.

If you had asked me, before the series started, how I expected most games to go, I would have said something along these lines:

It's a fast game where LeBron and Curry both hit a ton of tough shots, and the Cavs fight hard, but by the end of the game our depth and surprisingly-effective defense have worn them down and the last couple of minutes aren't that close.

Game 4 gave us that narrative, with the difference being Mozgov taking advantage of the Warriors small-ball lineups to become a dominant force - one, I suspect, that we haven't seen the last of.
