The Warriors are once again down 2-1 entering Game 4 of a playoff series, this time to the Lakers.
Kurtenbach: There’s more than a playoff series on the line — Warriors vs. Lakers is about bragging rights
There is some comfort for Golden State in this position. They’ve been down 2-1 in six prior playoff series since Steve Kerr became head coach. The four times they’ve won Game 4 to even the series at two games apiece, they’ve won the series. They even lost Game 4 back in the 2016 Western Conference finals to Oklahoma City, but came back to win the series.
But even if they have come back from down 3-1 before, that doesn’t mean they want to sign up to do it again. And they would be wise to approach Monday’s game in Los Angeles as if the season is on the line. Follow along with our reporters Madeline Kenney, Shayna Rubin and columnist Dieter Kurtenbach and other analysts providing their thoughts about the game.
