The series is tied 2-2 ... for now. Here's what's going down at the Chase Center as the Celtics and Warriors take their talents back to the Bay for a ...

Jay-Z was in attendance on Monday. He was also at Chase Center for Game 1 of the Finals. -- Youngmisuk Meanwhile, Tatum, who has paid homage to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan throughout the postseason, looked poised to drop 50, er -- was back on his GOAT vibes rocking a T-shirt with Tiger Woods on it. Boston managed to stick around in the game despite a generally awful offensive performance throughout the first half. That includes being outscored by 35 points in the two games back in Boston. Two things of note on the Warriors side: Andre Iguodala got some first quarter minutes that did not go well whatsoever. The Celtics outscored Golden State 35-24 in the third, which allowed Boston to cut what was a 12-point halftime deficit to one. The Warriors shot over 50 percent from the field. After knocking down a 3-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer, Jordan Poole walked to the corner of the court and screamed back at fans as they cheered him on. The early 2000s would be proud of this series. The combined score throughout the first four games was 422-421, with the Warriors holding the ever-so-slight advantage. Wiggs is making the game look easy. What was less obvious: How the latest installment of this fascinating series would play out.

Our experts try and predict what should be an extremely competitive Game 5.

Jasmyn Wimbish: Steph Curry was electric in Game 4, but the Warriors needed his absolute best to win. Jayson Tatum, in particular, has stepped his game up following Boston losses, and he can be expected to do the same in Game 5. The Warriors' half-court offense hasn't been good, even with Steph Curry's exploits, but Jordan Poole appears to be turning a corner and they'll likely get more from Otto Porter in Game 5. Colin Ward-Henninger: Usually at this point in a Finals series, you can start to throw tactics and adjustments out the window, but that's not necessarily the case here. Curry can only do so much, especially if Boston alters its defense to try to force the ball out of Curry's hands, and it's tough to trust the guys around him to get the job done at this point. But that's just noise serving as the background music to the fact that Curry is a historically great player, and, like in Boston a few nights ago, he's not going to let his team lose Game 5, regardless of his supporting cast. Brad Botkin: I picked Boston to win in seven, but it won't win Game 5. Michael Kaskey-Blomain: It's really tough to pick against Steph Curry given how well he's played in the series, but his supporting cast has been inconsistent to say the least. Curry's 43-point performance in Game 4 was a masterpiece, but Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole need to do more if the Warriors are going to win their fourth ring under Steve Kerr. Teams that win the fifth game of a best-of-seven series tied at 2-2 go on to win that series over 80 percent of the time. Bill Reiter: The Celtics are younger, more athletic, deeper, better on defense and on a remarkable run of resilience and top-notch basketball since turning their season around toward the end of January. But they don't have Stephen Curry. And, as we saw in Game 4, nor can they stop him. Perhaps trapping him and forcing the ball out of his hands is the way to go.

NBA Finals Game 5, Warriors vs. Celtics live updates: Andrew ... (USA TODAY)

Andrew Wiggins took the lead while Steph Curry and Klay Thompson played the supporting role as the Warriors topped the Celtics for a 3-2 series lead.

On Sunday, Thompson was asked to reflect on that moment and what it meant to be back in the Finals after all he had to go through. "When I hurt my knee, it was kind of unchartered territory for me because I had been able to be consistently present in the lineup my whole career. "There has been," then-NBA Commissioner David Stern said at the start of the 2013-14 season, "an abiding sense amongst our teams, and they've stated two things: One, in a 2-2 series, it's sort of not fair for the team with the better record to be away. The Warriors have gotten off to sluggish starts in the NBA Finals so far, but that wasn’t the case during Game 5. That's a testament to Green's 6-for-26 shooting in the Finals. Even his mother trolled him on Twitter. Jerry West of the L.A. Lakers remains the only player in league history to win MVP from a losing team. The third quarter has normally been the Warriors time to shine, but the Celtics opened the second half on a 10-0 run. He didn’t even attempt a shot before he was uncharacteristically pulled for a breather by Ime Udoka with 4:48 minutes left in the first quarter. It was the first time in the series that a team won consecutive games. Are the Warriors in position to finally make a breakthrough? Klay Thompson started to heat up in the third quarter. It might seem like the Warriors are prepared to make a run to the title.

The biggest Game Fives of the Steph Curry Era (Golden State of Mind)

The fatigue, plus Curry's sprained ankle from Game 3, led to listless performance for the Warriors in Game Five, where Curry scored just nine points and Klay ...

Down 3-1, Kevin Durant heroically came back to start Game Five of the Finals in Toronto, and scored 11 points before completely tearing his Achilles in the second quarter. The Rockets and Warriors were tied 2-2 for a second straight year heading to Oakland this time. For two teams featuring former scoring champions, the 2018 series between Houston and Golden State had become a defensive slog by Game Five. Tied 2-2, the Rockets led nearly the whole way, but when Draymond Green made a three with 1:15 to go, it was a one-point game. A highly, highly questionable flagrant foul call on Draymond Green - it wasn’t called a foul at all live - exiled him and Bob Myers to a luxury box at the neighboring Oakland Coliseum for Game Five of the 2016 Finals. Klay and Steph went for 37 and 25 points respectively, but that couldn’t match LeBron and Kyrie Irving both pouring in 41 points. Meanwhile the Warriors got 31 points and five steals from Curry, 27 points from Thompson, 15 points and 14 rebounds from Andrew Bogut, and 13 rebounds and four blocks from Draymond. The unsung hero was Mo Speights, who had 14 off the bench, including five big ones to extend their lead in the 4th quarter. The Dubs would go on to overcome a 3-1 deficit and go to the Finals, definitely the most memorable 3-1 comeback they’ve ever been a part of. The Warriors defeated the best Portland Trail Blazers team of the Damian Lillard era in 2016, but it wasn’t an easy five games. Four games into the second-round matchup with San Antonio, the Warriors seemed like the better team. They shot 14-30 from three-point range, Andrew Bogut blocked four shots, and the Warriors never trailed for the final seven quarters of the series on their way to their first Finals in 40 years. But how have the Warriors done in big Game Fives in the Curry era? The Warriors went into Denver with a 3-1 lead and a chance to close out their first playoff series since 2007, and only their second since 1991. They’ve rarely faced a 2-2 tie - only six times in 26 previous playoff series - and they’re 3-3 in such games, 3-1 since 2015.
