The Cleveland Cavaliers will try to replicate their spectacular Game 5 performance to extend the series to a deciding Game 7 when they host the Golden State Warriors for Game 6 of the 2016 NBA Finals on Thursday night at the Quicken Loans Arena.

The Cavs are still trailing by a game 3-2, but are looking confident and optimistic ahead of Game 6. The Wine and Gold managed to stay alive in the series with an impressive 112-97 victory in Monday night's game. All-Stars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving scored an astonishing 41-points apiece to stretch the series to Game 6.

The Cavaliers have the best postseason record of 8-1 when games are played at home. Their only loss at home has been to the Warriors in Game 3. The Ohio-based basketball team is expected to be more aggressive as they are still on the brink of elimination.

"My only job is to get this win, man," the four-time MVP LeBron James said. "We have a great opportunity to protect home court and go into two of the best words ever, and that's Game 7. So hopefully we can protect home. That's all that matters."

The Warriors will see the return of the team's top defensive player Draymond Green, who was penalized with a one-game suspension after collecting his fourth Flagrant 1 this postseason in Game 4 against James. However, the league's defending champions will be missing the services of veteran center Andrew Bogut after being sidelined with a knee injury.

The Dubs will try to claim their second consecutive NBA championship on the road, just the way they did last season. Warriors' Head Coach Steve Kerr mentioned right after Game 5 that the team is in the same position as last year with an opportunity to win a championship at the Q.
