At one point in the game, the Warriors trailed by almost 29 points. Coach Kerr decided to rest his starters when he thought the game had gone out of control. However, to his surprise, the second unit, led by Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, fought hard and managed to reduce the deficit to only eight points.
Despite their tough fight, the Dubs were unable to pull out a win as the Mavs closed out the game strongly by bringing in a few of their starters.
Going into Game 5, they will be hoping to put up yet another terrific performance and bag a win to make the series an even more interesting one.
