The Golden State Warriors are one win away from capturing another Larry O'Brien Trophy and it was a memorable night for Andrew Wiggins that led the way in Game 5 against the Boston Celtics.
Wiggins finished the game with 26 points and 13 rebounds, making history with a new single-game record for the most points by a Canadian in NBA Finals history.
It was the sixth time that Wiggins has recorded a double-double and was an impressive follow-up to his 17-point, 16-rebound effort in Game 4.
This is just the second time in his career that Wiggins has made it to the post-season and the former first overall pick has received a lot of praise for his play so far. Now one win away from his first title, the Thornhill, Ont. native has even earned some chatter for NBA Finals MVP.
