After another critical victory in Game 4, the Lakers are one win away from the Western Conference Finals.
Lonnie Walker IV dropped 15 points in the fourth quarter to help lead LA to a thrilling comeback win on Monday night. It gave the Lakers a commanding 3-1 series lead as the series now shifts back to San Francisco for Game 5.
With their backs against the wall, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and the Warriors need to rattle off three straight wins to keep their season alive. However, they have done it once before, storming back from a 3-1 deficit to win the 2016 Western Conference Finals against the Thunder in seven games.
LeBron James has done a little bit of everything so far in this series. In addition to dropping a team-high 27 points and six assists in Game 4, he also came up with a brilliant defensive play in the final seconds to help seal the Lakers' win. Anthony Davis has been inconsistent offensively this postseason, but he chipped in with 23 points and 15 rebounds of his own.
It is now do-or-die time for Golden State. Can it get a win on Wednesday night to extend its season? Here's everything you need to know to watch Game 5 between the Lakers and the Warriors.
