Will the Lakers pull off this win in the NBA playoffs? The Lakers are up 3 to 1, having the Warriors with only one win. If the Lakers win the next game the Lakers will move on to the next round. On game 4 on Monday night in Los Angeles, the score was 104-101. The last final moments were when Anthony Davis was playing his best defense and reading Curry’s moves and fakes and jabs. If Curry’s fakes worked they would be tied 2-2 wins, however, that is not what happened. The Lakers have an advantage, winning three games when they only need one more.
Nonetheless, the Warriors are not nervous they have been in that predicament and have experienced both sides of 3-1 comebacks, with them beating Oklahoma Thunder in the Western finals in 2016 and losing a 3-1 lead to Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in NBA finals. The Warriors will fight back, they have a three-point specialist in Curry and Klay Thompson that will always play their game. Also with Jordan Poole, who did struggle at the end of Game 1, but has scored 2 40 points games this season. They have Draymond Green with his defense and their Coach Steve Kerr advising on the sidelines. Not even including the next two games are at home in San Fransico, having the home team advantage. Of the outrageous crowds going crazy and boosting Warrior’s confidence and hustle to win these next two games, to move to the next. James responded to the great outcomes of each game saying the Lakers have improved throughout the playoffs, with their intensity in each game, but also to close out the game having higher scores than so close scoreboard. Who do you think will move next Lakers or the Warriors?
