#4 Game was a tale of two halves
Heading into the locker rooms at halftime, the Spurs held a six-point advantage and a lot of that had to with how they played. There was a sense of urgency and their attention to detail is what got them the lead. Forced or silly, the Warriors committed 11 turnovers at halftime and the Spurs made hay of all those extra possessions while committing just two themselves.
Even the rebounding battle, which the Dubs won by 21 (51-30) in Game 1, the Spurs were far more competitive, only being -4 (19-23) at halftime.
Once the whistle blew for the second half to begin, the Spurs just couldn't match what the Warriors bought out of the locker room - energy, desperation and clinical execution. And it's not that the Spurs didn't want to play that well, the talent deficiency just doesn't allow them to.
They got outscored by 21 in the second half (69-48), committing 7 turnovers in the process and shooting 16-of-38 (42.1%). On the other hand, the Warriors only turned the ball over four times and shot 23-of-30 (76.7%) from the field, including 11-of-18 (61.1%) from beyond the arc.
Guess the Lakers players!
