The Golden State Warriors have beat the Boston Celtics 104-94 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven NBA Basketball Finals series.
Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson did most of the damage for the Warriors, combining for 47 points, while the visitors committed 18 turnovers and had 10 missed free throws in the contest.

After poor shooting saw them trail by 12 points at halftime, the Celtics opened the third quarter on a 10-0 run and took their first lead of the night at 58-55 on a three-pointer from Al Horford.
But Jordan Poole's bank shot from half court at the third quarter buzzer sent the momentum firmly in Golden State's direction, and the home team put the game out of reach with an emphatic Wiggins dunk in the fourth.
The Warriors are now one win away from their fourth title in eight years.
Game Six is on Friday in Boston.
