West Conf. Semis - Game 4: Golden State Warriors 118-92 New Orleans Pelicans - 5 Talking Points

#2 Series all but over

Pelicans' coach Alvin Gentry

Only 11 times in NBA history has a team overcome a 3-1 series lead and the Pelicans don't seem they are primed to be the one to do it a 12th time.

They challenged the champs at their own game of playing small with pace, and they came out on the wrong end of the results three out of the four games. That happens for a reason. They haven't shown any scheme or strategy that is going to help them win three out of the remaining four against the Warriors.

Meanwhile, Golden State, with prior experience of being in this situation before, would surely look to put up a surgical and clinical performance at home in Game 5 to wrap this up and advance to the Conference Finals.
