Following a pair of losses on the road to the Los Angeles Lakers in Hollywood, the defending NBA champions officially face elimination, trailing 3-1 in the second round series.
The Golden State Warriors will have the chance to extend the series bt defending their home court in Game 5 on Wednesday night at San Francisco’s Chase Center.
Not only will Steve Kerr have to worry about slowing down LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Warriors will have to keep an eye on Game 4 hero, Lonnie Walker IV. In the fourth quarter alone, Walker IV tallied 15 points to help the Lakers steal a comeback in Game 4.
To get back on the board, the Warriors will need the duo of Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson to breakout of their mini-slumps alongside Steph Curry. Poole went scoreless in Game 4 while Thompson only notched nine points.
