To talk about a team down 3-0 is to speak with a touch of inevitability — when they’re facing the Warriors, even moreso. That the Spurs came into Sunday also down one superstar, their Hall of Fame-bound head coach, and any semblance of a three-point shot had most fans feeling glum at best and fatalistic at worst.
Luckily for the Spurs, one of those missing factors returned in Game 4, as they doubled the Warriors’ three-point output, 15 to 7, en route to a series-saving 103-90 win. Game 5 will be Tuesday back in Oakland.
