What you're talking about is just the normal ebb and flow of the game. The Warriors went on a run and went +12 in 5 minutes, then the Cavs went on a run and went +11 in 4 minutes. That's not a collapse. The lead was within 5 for 90% of the game, because it was a good, close game. Those 10 minutes were pretty streaky, because you had players who were tired, with many substitutions going on.
