Strange but true: the cumulative score of these NBA Finals — tied 2-2 with tonight’s Game 5 between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics mere hours away — is 422-421, Warriors. Both teams have made 64 three-pointers; the Celtics have shot 42 percent from beyond the arc, and The Warriors, 39 percent. Golden State has just one more offensive rebound than Boston; they’ve turned the ball over on one less trip. Watching these games as they happen, you may not have walked away thinking that the series was almost exactly even, despite it being 2-2.
