Good morning to everyone but especially to…

THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS…

The Warriors led for exactly 45.7 seconds last night. The good news for them: It was the final 45.7 seconds of the game. Golden State used a late surge to rally past Memphis 101-98 and take a 3-1 series lead.

After an offensive masterpiece in Game 3, the Warriors had to win ugly in Game 4. Even Curry looked kind of off, despite his final stat line, writes NBA reporter Brad Botkin.

Botkin: “Stephen Curry led the Warriors with a game-high 32 points, but it took him 25 shots to get there. He connected on just four of his 14 3-pointers, but finished the game with eight clutch free throws and 18 fourth-quarter points. Curry, who has been fantastic all postseason in the paint and at the rim, is off on his 3-point shooting and missing wide-open looks pretty regularly.”
