Dennis Schroder might not have had the most impactful performance in the Lakers' Game 4 win over the Warriors on Monday, but he had arguably the most viral moment.

That came in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter, when Golden State's Draymond Green made an errant pass to Andrew Wiggins while moving toward the baseline. The latter could only reach for the ball with LeBron James in defense, allowing Anthony Davis to make an easy steal.

The turnover not only allowed Los Angeles to bleed valuable seconds off the clock in an eventual 104-101 victory, but also opened Green up for some non-verbal ridicule from Schroder. Immediately following Davis' steal, Schroder turned around and smiled directly in Green's face:

Here's a better look at the face Schroder made at Green, which quickly circulated throughout social media:

It was an all-around bad night for Green, who had a game-low plus-minus rating of negative-10. He scored only eight points on 3-of-5 shooting, adding 10 rebounds, seven assists and a steal in the loss.

Green also had five turnovers, including an earlier errant pass that went straight into the Lakers' bench. As was the case later in the game, the turnover prompted some schoolyard antics from Schroder.

Schroder, meanwhile, had a great night in the Lakers' win: Though he scored only 10 points on 5-of-9 shooting, he also had three defensive rebounds, three assists and a steal off the bench: good for a game-high plus-minus rating of plus-14.

The Lakers-Warriors series will resume with Game 5 on Wednesday. Tipoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET at the Chase Center — and could provide Schroder the chance to get one last laugh in at Green.
