WIGGINS' ALL-AROUND IMPACT
Andrew Wiggins stuffed the stat sheet for the Warriors in their Game 5 victory. Wiggins finished second on the team in points (25) and assists (5) while ranking third in rebounds (7). Despite being guarded by Anthony Davis, who has blocked more shots than any player in these playoffs, Wiggins remained efficient, shooting 10-for-18 from the field and 2-for-5 from 3-point range. Wiggins converted on three 3-point plays, relentlessly attacking the basket and finishing through the contact. One of his best highlights of the night came from his activity on the offensive glass. Draymond Green missed a transition layup, but Wiggins cleaned it up with a tip-dunk over Anthony Davis.
"We have a talented team. We have a lot of guys that can score the ball. So just asserting myself. Being aggressive from the start. Just making my presence known," Andrew Wiggins said on his mindset for Game 5.

L.A. LAKERS SCOUTING REPORT
Anthony Davis (18 points) and LeBron James (17 points) combined for 35 points in the first half but were limited to 13 points (eight from James, five from Davis) in the second half. Davis left the game late in the fourth quarter with a head injury, which is something to monitor heading into Game 6. Lonnie Walker IV, who scored 15 fourth-quarter points in Game 4, was held to four points in 28 minutes.
By winning Game 6, Los Angeles can close the series on their home floor, where they have gone 5-0 this postseason. But if the Warriors succeed in putting a blemish on the Lakers’ perfect home record, then the series will shift back to Chase Center for a decisive Game 7 on Sunday.
