The Golden State Warriors surge past the Cleveland Cavaliers in a home victory, 104-91, in the fifth installment of the 2015 NBA Finals at Oracle Arena. This telling chapter in Game 5 continues to analyze the dominance of reigning regular season MVP (most valuable player) Stephen Curry versus former two-time Finals MVP, LeBron James. Both stars have played monumental parts in this recurring ensemble with each team respectively winning two consecutive games in the past four contests.

Steph Curry finally was able to be comfortable on the court this series. Every game up until Game 5, Steph was getting hassled and harassed all around the court. He's been forced to dodge screens, mix and weave from the pick and roll, and actually his opponent, non-stop. The best way to negate a strong shooter is to compel him to defend his opponent; that way he'll exude all of his energy on defense and will not be able to exhibit his strength on offense. Cleveland has strayed away from that game plan due to the growing fatigue. And this problem should be alleviated by an added use of the rotation off the bench. This ailment has to be addressed and needs an explanation for this anomaly.

Well, it's best not to put the blame on LeBron, for he has enough pressure as it is. He is fighting relentlessly as ever. Some consideration for the Cavs incompetences lies toward the head coach, David Blatt. He has yet to make a strategic move in better assessing the game's development to help his team. At this point, it's like LeBron is the only person on the Cleveland sidelines giving instructions to his team. Blatt is only damaging his team's chances, not assisting. Cleveland is vying for their first title championship in franchise history and first title in Cleveland since 1966. He could be playing his way out of a job if things don't turn around. Blatt is surely making this ravaging wound sting a little deeper in the hearts of Cavalier fans. If you are spacing the floor for LeBron, at least have shooters who are knockdown-worthy. Otherwise, when you look at Golden State, they have clearly responded to the call.

Steve Kerr has made several adjustments: implementing David Lee into the rotation for Game 3, electing Andre Iguodala in the starting lineup for establishing the tempo, and moving Harrison Barnes to the power forward position.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were playing into the hands of Golden State by opting to not go with their big lineup. It's eerie why they would keep omitting Tristan Thompson and Mozgov on the court together. It'd be better to force Golden State to play the likes of David Lee and Andrew Bogut, more. Cleveland has a frontline, that's their strength, their mental makeup. They have shooters off of the bench, but are so sporadic with their shot. So, they are more of a liability than an asset.

That is why you constantly see LeBron James tooth-and-nail every bucket he could possibly maneuver. He is straining more and more and there is only so much one man can do for his team. LeBron is primed for this task and understands the job ahead of him. But, the supporting cast effectiveness seems to shrink the more he needs their help. He rallied for 40 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists in 42 minutes. And these herculean numbers are in losing efforts. What does his numbers have to be in order to win? If only, the bench showed up, it wouldn't be a problem.

Timofey Mozgov played just nine minutes, basically not even a presence on the court. All he did was consume space on the basketball, in other words, he was a walking monument. It was a terrible sight to see, since he just had a terrific game with 28 points in Game 4 to an astounding zero points in Game 5. J.R. Smith had 14 points, all in the first half, and virtually non-existing going forward. He's unable to move without the basketball, hindering his team in pivotal possessions. We'll what happens going forward.

Curry was treated for dehydration after the game. It raises an alarm for the Warriors, since he most likely won't be 100 percent before Game 6. For the Cavaliers, dehydration has affected the supporting cast like Matthew Dellavedova and Timofey Mozgov. On the other hand, if you look at the Warriors, it's affecting the star play of Curry. At this point, both teams are battling and exhausting fuel from their reserve tank. We'll see who has more left in the tank. The question needs to be asked: who will show up and be the "difference maker" for their team, the stars of Golden State or the role players of Cleveland for Game 6?

In each teams' respective victories, both, the stars of Golden State and role players of Cleveland have played a pivotal role in determining who wins the game. When Curry is taken out of his comfort zone and forced to pass towards another teammate, it interrupts his tempo. Steph needs the ball in his hands to establish rhythm and like you saw down the stretch in the fourth quarter, he was cooking. Curry was literally sautéing opponents, particularly Dellavedova, with his sizzling crossover and scorching jumper to toast the defender's mental. Practically all of the shots Steph carves up are virtually indefensible. Curry can slice and dice like before since there is no more double team and can go one-on-one off the dribble again. The signs of fatigue from the defender are growing and their hustle has gone weary. So, I tell you Chef Curry is back in business! He had a hiatus that was long overdue, since his competition was trying to shut him down and had a clientele that greatly anticipated his arrival; but, business is thriving and seems to be booming now for good.

The chapter continues today, June 16, at 9pm eastern time on ABC. Look for Cleveland to respond desperately in a must-win meeting at home in Quicken Loans Arena. Ultimately, will the Cavs bench show up or will the Golden State stars show out? A telling question that will decide the fate unfolding out of Game 6 in the NBA Finals.
