After a disappointing showing in Game 3, the Lakers knew they had to make up for it in Game 4. The Lakers, particularly LeBron James and Anthony Davis were not their usual dominating self.
LeBron, who had no turnovers in the first two games of the Finals, was sloppy and had 8 turnovers. AD on the other hand could not get numbers on the board and was in foul trouble for most of the match.
Tonight was a different case altogether. The Lakers came out much more focused and determined. LeBron James was back to his old self, making timely plays, passing the ball around, and was much more careful about the ball tonight, only 1 turnover. Anthony Davis was not back to putting up his mammoth numbers, but it was okay because the Lakers got the job done.
