The Los Angeles Lakers put a huge win in their column on Sunday when they claimed a 104-101 triumph over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals to take a 3-1 series lead.
They did so the ugly way — by getting key stops down the stretch, pulling down key rebounds and with good old-fashioned hustle and grit. They overcame a 12-point deficit in the third quarter, as well as a foreboding feeling that the Warriors were on their way to victory.
