NBA Finals 2016: Cavaliers vs. Warriors TV Schedule and Game 5 Live Stream
After their Game 4 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road Friday night, the Golden State Warriors are one victory away from their second straight NBA title.
Stephen Curry rediscovered his shooting touch, pouring in 38 points to go along with five rebounds and six assists. He hit 11 of the 25 shots he took from the field and was a scorching 7-of-13 from three-point range.
Klay Thompson, the other Splash Brother, chipped in with 25 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the field. He knocked down four of his nine threes. As a team, the Warriors hit 17 of their 36 threes. That was a major difference in the game, as the Cavs hit only six of their 25 deep attempts.
The Warriors will return home for Game 5 and attempt to take the title in front of their home fans. You can catch the game Monday night at 9 p.m. ET on ABC. If you're looking to live-stream the game, WatchESPN has you covered.
The biggest news surrounding Game 5, as NBA on ESPN reported, is that Warriors forward Draymond Green will have to sit out as he serves a one-game suspension. The league handed Green a flagrant-1 foul Sunday after investigating his swipe at the groin of LeBron James in Game 4.
The flagrant foul put Green past the four-point threshold that mandates an automatic one-game suspension.
SportsCenter provided a Vine of the play in question:
The play didn't look egregious, but Jonathan Tjarks of The Ringer noted the suspension was not the result of that single play:
"Draymond Green isn't being suspended for what happened in Game 4. He's being suspended for a pattern of questionable behavior.

As you may recall, there was some discussion over whether Green should be suspended following a kick to the groin of Steven Adams in the Western Conference Finals, which ultimately resulted in a flagrant-2 foul for Green.
As Sean Highkin of Pro Basketball Talk pointed out, NBA vice president of basketball operations Kiki Vandeweghe said Green was "on notice" for his flailing during games.
The Warriors will miss Green, but if the rest of the team is able to continue to hit shots and keep the Cavs off-balance, Golden State should be able to dispatch Cleveland and take home its second title in as many years.
