Manu Ginobli finally made a mark on the NBA Finals, starting the game for the first time all season. He also put up a season-high 24 points go to with 10 assists. But the game belonged to Danny Green once again. Green shot a spectacular 6-10 from range which actually brought his three-point shooting percentage down for the finals. He blew past Ray Allen's record of 22 threes in the Finals, setting the current mark at 25. His 24 points helped San Antonio stretch the lead out to 20 points during the fourth quarter to boost San Antonio to a big win in Game 5, 114-104.
The series returns to Miami for Game 6 on Tuesday.
Danny Green has just tied the record for most 3-pointers made in an #NBAFinals series (22, Ray Allen). We're not even halfway thru Game 5!

RT @SkylerJGilbert: If Danny Green wins Finals MVP, it'll be the 7th time it was awarded to a shooting guard out of UNC.

The Spurs are one win away from you being able to tell your Grandkids about Danny Green's two-week MVP Finals stretch.

I'll refer to this as: "the decision" RT @kirkgoldsberry: On October 19, 2010 the Cleveland Cavaliers waived guard Danny Green.

In 2009 Danny Green was the 46th pick in the NBA Draft. In 2013 he is one of the best players in the NBA Finals.
