Game 4 between the Warriors and Mavericks offered a bit more intrigue than the recent slate of NBA playoff games. After Golden State went down 29 points, it battled back to bring the deficit to single digits in the waning minutes.
Things got close enough for Steve Kerr to bring back his starters, who were largely on the bench for the final frame. In the end, though, the result was pretty much what we’ve gotten used to over the last few weeks: Dallas won by 10, yet another double-digit win. Only two of eight conference finals games have been decided by single digits.
