LeBron asked if Kerr’s comments after Game 4 were impactful in low FTA’s: “Our game is to attack the paint. We don’t mind the contact. We’re not a team that goes out there looking for flopping opportunities … The game is always won in between the 4 lines; we need to be better.” – 1:16 AM

Ingram, Randle, KCP, Kuzma, B. Lopez, Hart, Caruso, Jordan Clarkson, @Lakers had a good core before @KingJames.
Clarkson tells me breaking up the band was good: “Best for all of us to just get away and grow up in different places.”

The most interesting quote out of postgame so far, from Steve Kerr: : “The Lakers are a team that plays with a lot of gamesmanship. They understand how to generate some calls. I thought they took some flops and were rewarded. I’ll have to see the replays. Maybe I’m wrong.” – 1:26 AM

Only one sub for Steve Kerr so far this entire fourth quarter. He opened it with his starters (Curry, Klay, Wiggins, GP2, Draymond) and switched Payton for Moody at the 9:49 mark. Those appear to be the six he trusts most as this series deepens. – 12:19 AM

Warriors built an eight-point lead to open the second half. Lakers respond with a 10-0 run. Back-to-back open 3s for Los Angeles. Momentum keeps swinging back-and-forth. 59-57 game with 8:57 left in the third. Timeout, Steve Kerr. – 11:32 PM
