The Golden State Warriors suffered an embarrassing 122-101 defeat in Game 6 of their second-round matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, sending the purple and gold through to the Western Conference Finals and ending the defending champions’ season.
History suggested that once they fell down 3-1, the series was all but over. Yet Warrior fans remained optimistic, hoping that their squad could lean on their championship pedigree to extend the series to a Game 7. In the end, a disconcerted effort on the road saw the Dubs fall short, continuing a trend of underwhelming road losses that encumbered Golden State throughout the regular season.
