Steph Curry heroics not enough for Warriors as Lakers win Game 4 to take 3-1 series lead

The Golden State Warriors are now in a hole that very few teams could ever get out of.  

3-1 down in a series to a Lebron James-led team is basically suicide. 

The Lakers overcame Curry's third career postseason triple-double largely because they had role players who actually contributed to winning basketball which just seems to be the exact opposite for the Dubs.

Lonnie Walker IV who struggled for any meaningful minutes this postseason, scored 15 points in the fourth quarter to propel the Lakers to a vital win.

LeBron James scored 27 points and Anthony Davis had 23 points and 15 rebounds for the home team, who moved one win away from knocking off the champions with their eighth consecutive home victory since March.

Curry had 31 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists in his 13th career triple-double for the Warriors, who will have to overcome a 3-1 series deficit for only the second time in franchise history to continue their NBA title defense.
