With the Warriors facing a 2-1 deficit before Game 4, they knew they had to play with a purpose. Coach Kerr shook things up and sat Andrew Bogut for Andre Iguodala. Probably, the most consistent Warriors player in the series, Iggy made sure to have his presence felt. Their smaller line up allowed the Warriors to run and play at their tempo from the start.

Born in 1984, it’s rightfully so that his heroes were players from the 90s. Surprisingly, Michael Jordan was not amongst the field. From Iguodala’s defensive presence to passing and ability to the basket, a little bit of each player can be seen in his game.
With the series tied 2-2, it has become a three game series. Two possible games left at the Oracle, the Warriors cannot afford to drop a game at home. Game 5 will tipoff tomorrow at 5PM PST.
