The defending champions, Golden State Warriors, are one loss away from losing their 19-0 streak of playoff series wins in the Western Conference since 2014. This season, their fate hangs in the balance as the Lakers' 3-1 lead gives them a strong chance of progressing to the West Finals and ending the Warriors' dynasty. To make a comeback, Golden State needs to win the next three games against LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who have been dominating the series with their superior defense. The Warriors' slump in shooting and turnovers have hampered their chances. However, the Warriors have faced a similar scenario before in the 2016 Western Conference Finals, where they came back from 3-1 down against OKC and won the series. Head Coach Steve Kerr expressed confidence in his team's ability to bounce back: "You go home, take care of business, get a win, and the momentum is right back in your favor." Nevertheless, the Warriors will need all hands on deck to attempt a comeback as they head into Game 5 on Wednesday night with their season and dynasty on the line.
