The Golden State Warriors showed a few important attributes in the Logo when it comes to Winning Time and the biggest was "Show me your Valentine". That's "Heart" and they played with composure and poise which shows they are learning quickly on the fly and now learning to stay in the game, strike at the right juncture in the game, and then close out the contest when its time to do so.

They did all that in Regulation and then went for the strike in Extras for a 97-87 "W" to move the Series back to the AT&T Center for Game 5. The Warriors laid a hammer on the Spurs in the Extra Frame outscoring SAS 13 -3. Rook Harrison Barnes had a game-high 26 points and ten boards as he is moving up in his Rookie Class. Back Up PG Jarrett Jack came out the Bullpen to add 24 big points and seven rebounds while Steph (with another Ankle Injury) chips in with 22 points and six rebounds. The Warriors showed in Game 4 that its not all about the Money Ball as they executed their Offense to perfection.

The Spurs followed the Blueprint from Game 3 but the only difference was down the stretch the Spurs looked a little gassed. Manu led the Spurs with 21 points (15 points on Money Balls) and Dunc added 19 points and fifteen boards. Neither Team shot well and if the Spurs don't shoot 56% from the Stripe...they win going away.  Teams just cannot in Winning Time come out the Motel and shoot 14 of 25 from the Free Throw Line and expect to get a "W".

Now Game 5 will be in the Alamo City on Tuesday Night and the Warriors will be challenged big time as the Spurs have figured out how tom slow down GSW ands control the Pace.
