How the Golden State Warriors abandoned a productive strategy to lose Game 4

The Golden State Warriors squandered their opportunity to even the series against the Los Angeles Lakers and steal back home-court advantage, suffering a 104-101 defeat in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals.

With all the defensive attention directed his way, Stephen Curry did just about all he could, posting a 31-point, 10-rebound, 14-assist triple-double across 42 minutes of action. As expected, adjustments were made on Monday night, and chief among them was an uptick in Curry’s on-ball usage.

Game 4 was a tale of two halves as the Golden State Warriors fell into a major hole, now needing to win three-straight games to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
