One step from… dethroning they brought them Warriors the Lakers. They defended LA’s Staples Center again prevailing 104-101 of champions and they did it 3-1 in the West semifinals.
THE Lebron James led his team back from -12 in the third period with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, the Anthony Davis he was again a catalyst with 23 points and 15 rebounds, but the “keys” proved to be Lonnie Walker with 15 and o Austin Reeves with 21 points. For the “warriors”, who now need three consecutive victories, o Steph Curry he had 31 points and 14 assists and 10 rebounds, but only 3/14 three-pointers and two misses for the pass in the final seconds.
After a fairly balanced first half, the visitors led by +12, 65-77, with 4:10 left in the final period. The “lake people”, however, quickly returned to the game, which developed into a thriller. Thompson’s 3-pointer with 3:01 left put the Warriors ahead, 96-99, but LeBron turned it around, 102-101. Curry missed two consecutive 3-pointers, with Walker making 2/2 shots to make it 104-101 at 15 minutes. Green’s mistake led to a jumble, with the ball slipping out of Curry’s hands, as was the victory for the champions.
Game 5 will take place early Thursday morning (05:00) in San Francisco.
Twelve minutes: 22-21, 49-52, 78-84, 104-101
