I had seen this before. Back in the day, Houston was called Choke City because they gave up leads agains the Phoenix Suns that made the series 1-3 in favor of Phoenix. When Phoenix could not close it out for good in game 5, I knew Houston would win the series.
The same thing was felt by yours truly watching game 5. I thought ":these idiots in Golden State are letting their one opportunity slip away." Losing that game 5 deflated the Warriors, and set up all the shit from game 6 and 7.
They did not deserve to win. Good on the Cavs for taking it to them.
