Suffice to say, Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers had pretty high stakes. It wasn’t all on the line but ... well, it was close. A Warriors win would give them the momentum, tying the game and returning home court advantage to Golden State. A Lakers win would push the Dubs to the brink, giving LA a 3-1 lead.
Both teams showed up like the game was as important as it was. It wasn’t the prettiest game, but neither team was shy on heart, effort, or desire.
