how good a player kyrie irving is. we knew about lebron. steph curry is the best over 82 games but on any given day lebron james is the best player on the planet and we have seen that. >> his arms are amazing. >> will it be that big of a deal to not have andrew bogut earlier this week in one of the earlier games i remember watching him and he rejected lebron james. aren't a lot of people that reject a shot by lebron james and you know really fired up the warriors. let's get to that because i think what we got right now is mayor libby schaaf. we have been waiting for her to speak about the big shakeup. acting chief paul figueroa is out after two days. she is going to explain what happened. >> i am here to run a police department, not a frat house. today we are sharing disturbing information. first we are close to the end of an investigation sex messages and racism and the messages were sent by african- american officers. but they are wholly inappropriate and not acceptable for anyone that wears the badge of the oakland

kyrie irving scored 26 points in the final game, the 3 pointer with less than a minute less. the coach put the team in a position to win. the hopes and dreams of a city riding on them, win is what they did ending that 52-year championship drought and restoring faith to cleveland. i wish i could have been on east ninth street this morning. my wife left home at 7:00 a.m. it should only have been normally a 20 minute drive to downtown. we live in the city, only five miles from downtown. she knew it would take at least an hour because of the crowds gathered. i'm heading back to my office in a few moments to meet my colleague from the golden state, senator boxer. she owes ohioans some beer. we bet cleveland-brewed beer against pwaeup -- bay area brewed beer. she'll be sporting a lebron james jersey to make the delivery. i had to do that last year. fair play. turn-around is fair play. on behalf of the senate, on behalf of my colleague senator portman, who attended a number of games and is excited as i am about this, congratulations to the cavaliers, congratulations to the city of c

kyrie irving was incredible. you realize they are superstars in their own rights. steph curry faded into the background. i think it was the quietest 25 points that he scored. you waited for him to step up or somebody else to step up. klay thompson was brilliant in the third quarter. but you got this feeling at oracle, if klay slowed down -- and he did in the second half -- what was going to happen? here is what happened. the warriors in the second half shot 26%. they could not score the basketball. they had 36 points in the second half after scoring 61 points in the first half. oracle was quiet. about six minutes to go, the fans tried to breathe some life into this team. it just didn't happen. it was eerily quiet. even those warriors chants were half hearted. it was the lebron and kyrie show. >> they stopped brewing lebron every possession. >> the booing of lebron didn't quite work out. he had 25 points -- this is with my phone here, the team walking off dejected after the game. lebron booed every time he touched the ball. maybe you chalk this up to sheer brillianc

kyrie irving who's had a tough time for the cavaliers the past two games had a big game. lebron james put it on, as well. had a huge monster game. and the warriors could not get it going here. all of the, of course, the bench players for the cavaliers showed up, as well. but you know, the person or the persons who may be should get the most credit? the 20,000 in the queue. the home arena. this place was raucous and alive and loud and the cavs have not lost a game here in the postseason and we can certainly now understand why. but guys, this thing is not over yet. the cabs now down one. game again coming up on friday. game four. we could have a series that is tied up by friday night. kendis, diane, back to you. >> might go seven games. >> keeping things exciting. > my favorite part of the entire evening was what started the whole thing. take a listen. the national anthem. you don't hear this happening. ♪ by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed ♪ >> the whole crowd sang the national anthem together. >> that is fantastic. >> gives you goose buffs. >> it does.

the partner in crime, kyrie irving the drive, the handles, the turn-around. no doubt irving finished with 41 as well and the caves lived to play another day winning game five 112-97 the embrace right there. the question now, how can they do it again? >> continue to be aggressive, bring physicality, and attack. it's the nba finals. you're two great teams and i kind of like our position. would have been nice to win tonight but we didn't. we didn't play very well. they played well. so we go back to cleveland and tee it up again. but like our position a lot better than theirs. >> wow. confident. you like this? yeah. game six of the nba finals will be right here on abc 7. tip off is at 9:00. facebook live at 8:00. to the nationals, mad max brought his k game tonight. that i mean it was the 30th 10 strikeout game for max scherzer since the start of 2013. only clayton kershaw with the dodgers has done better in that span. scherzer was perfect into the sixth. to say he was dominating tonight doesn't even do him justice. seven innings, one run allowed, two hits, no wa

kyrie irving had 30 points and eight assists. curry was taken out in the first quarter and you saw the coach asked if he was all right. j.r. smith is firing away, he had 25, three pointers. watch lebron and slow-motion. who is better lebron or staff? -- stefan. james had 32 points, 11 rebounds, six assists. curry finished with 19. 120-90. it was a blowout. >> not the way we wanted the night to go, myself included. i'm glad we took care of the home court, so we are in a good position. they did what they were supposed to do, we have an opportunity on friday to keep control. >> so if your warrior fan, ask yourself can cleveland beat the warriors 3 of the next 4 times? they go again friday in cleveland and then back here on monday night for what will now be a definite game 5. warriors one the first two, then cleveland returns the favor tonight. maybe it will be a close game friday. will see what happens.>> gary, i agree with you on this one.>> tonight, lebron was better than's stephen curry. >> fans attended a watch party, here's jr.

harrison barnes, klay thompson all on the preliminary roster, and cleveland lebron james, kyrie irving and kevin love may also play. every member that steph curry took himself out of the consideration saying that he wanted to let his injured knee heal.>> and a lot of people say he needs some time to heal.>> and the way he looked in the last couple of games, we are wondering if he is in pain.>> i think that professional athletes will not say it because they will muscle through in the finals. but now they can let it all hang out. literally, just heal and not do anything, and what a long season, down to the final game. >>> good morning, let's take a look at the big problem in the bay area, 680 there is a crash. traffic will be slow, and it has been there for a while. it did not appear when it started that it would be major, but it is taking a while to get it out of there. the alternate route would be to use 580 through the dublin interchange and head south. you will have to deal with slow traffic in hayward, but after that it looks pretty good. this requires a bunch of extra time. i know
