The Warriors have historically played their best when their best is needed. They'll have to summon that level again to come back from a 3-1 deficit and exact revenge on LeBron.
Well, not precisely here, having to pick up the pieces after a devastating 104-101 loss in Game 4 of their conference semifinal playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers — a game fueled by a 4th-quarter scoring binge by seldom-used guard Lonnie Walker IV.
As we’ve seen countless times over their years dominating the NBA, often the best version of the dynasty Warriors is when they become the desperate dynasty Warriors.Luckily, adversity, for the Warriors, has bred opportunity. While falling down 3-1 is all but a death knell for most clubs— only 13 teams have overcome a 3-1 deficit to win a series in NBA playoff history — the Warriors have thrived in that spot.
While they weren’t able to execute the same comeback in 2019 when they fell behind 3-1 to the Toronto Raptors in the Finals, the team did pull off one of their greatest rallies of the dynasty era in Game 5. Facing a six-point deficit late in the fourth quarter without Durant, who ruptured his achilles in the first quarter, and in the front of a raucous Toronto crowd ready to celebrate a title, the Warriors closed the game on a 9-2 run and kept the confetti from falling at Scotiabank Arena.

Then there was Game 4 of the Finals against the Boston Celtics last year when Curry, with 43 points, delivered what he considered ”his greatest moment.
The difference is, none of the other Warriors’ past playoff series have had the stakes that this one with the Lakers does.
