Irving, LeBron power Cavaliers over Warriors to extend NBA Finals (AFP)

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving unleashed two of the greatest do-or-die performances in NBA Finals history, sustaining the Cleveland Cavaliers' title dreams and denying Golden State a home championship celebration. James and Irving on Monday each scored 41 points to power the Cavaliers over the defending NBA champions 112-97, pulling Cleveland within 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. Irving scored a career playoff high, making 17-of-24 shots from the floor, including 5-of-7 3-pointers, and ran off seven decisive points in a row late in the fourth quarter.
