LOS ANGELES -- Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr wouldn't call Monday's Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers a must-win. He said as long as they weren't on the brink of elimination, nothing was absolute.
But Golden State forward Kevon Looney acknowledged just how big a hole it is to climb back from a 3-1 series deficit. He -- and the Warriors -- know from personal experience.
Yet, the Warriors fell to the Lakers 104-101 in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals, putting them right where Kerr was talking about -- on the brink of elimination.
