Welcome to the fourth game of the 2019 NBA Western Conference Finals! The Warriors will try to sweep the series tonight on the road against the Blazers, whose superstar point guard Damian Lillard is playing through a serious rib injury.
So far the Blazers haven’t been able to handle Golden State’s tenacious D or their double team traps on Lillard, and their own defense has collapsed in the face of a relentless offensive assault from the Warriors. Golden State has been down big at the half of each of the last two games, only to come back and win both.
