Warriors' Andre Iguodala: Posts double-double in Game 5

Iguodala scored 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals across 41 minutes in Monday's 112-97 Game 5 loss to the Cavaliers.

Analysis:

Iguodala entered the starting lineup in place of the suspended Draymond Green and had his most productive game of the series, but the Warriors were unable to get many enough quality performances across the roster to make up for Green's absence. Like Green, Iguodala is an elite defender, but he doesn't play near the rim, where the Cavaliers burned the Warriors for 48 points in the paint. Green will be available for Game 6 in Cleveland on Thursday, so Iguodala is likely headed back to the bench. We say "likely" because big man Andrew Bogut suffered what appeared to be a serious knee sprain Monday and may not be available Thursday. Coach Steve Kerr would have to adjust the starting unit once again if Bogut ends up getting ruled out.
