He said he didn't want to cry in front of people, so he would go home to record a podcast, during which he could pause his recording if he felt the need to cry. "We have been pretty frantic to start the ballgames," Brown said. "He's always confident because he thinks next play all of the time." Although he led the game in scoring, Curry's night wouldn't necessarily be categorized as "good," as he finished shooting 10-of-25 from the floor, including 4-of-14 from beyond the 3-point line. "Their presence, their voice, their calmness, reassurance, all that stuff means a lot for our group, especially with Steve being out." In truth, the Warriors have struggled to find an offensive rhythm all series, with the exception of their Game 3 shooting onslaught. "Rest in peace, Adreian Payne. My brother, my little brother, my college roommate, my teammate. The Warriors got off to a slow and sloppy start, yet again. Curry scored 18 of his 32 points in the final frame, eight of which came from the free throw line. But the Warriors managed to keep themselves within striking distance. "It was a tough night for us, but at this point in the year, you win ballgames. Just a few hours before that, news broke that Draymond Green's college teammate and best friend, Adreian Payne, had been shot and killed in Florida. Then Kerr's positive COVID-19 test.

NBA playoffs 2022 live updates: Celtics, Warriors win Game 4 (The Athletic)

The second-seeded Celtics and Grizzlies have each fallen behind 2-1 in their second-round series, and losses tonight will put their backs even further ...

Poole about to enter after the timeout. Slow starts have been the Warriors' thing in this series. Grizzlies remaining vague on his diagnosis.— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) pic.twitter.com/sKESIXdej1 May 10, 2022 Curry is 10 of 35 from 3 in this series. The Warriors had 14 turnovers in the first half of Game 3. Went for 38 total in the first half tonight -- 11 turnovers, 2 of 20 from 3. Only one off day between each remaining game in this series. They only need another 80 points in the final 12 minutes to match their Game 3 total. Jordan Poole gets the bucket to make it a one-point game with four minutes to go, but props to Andrew Wiggins for his defense on the play that led to the break. I know Dillon Brooks is one of their most-important perimeter defenders, but his missing just about everything and has made some out-there decisions, including the recent step-back 3, which preceded trying to take a charge on Stephen Curry when he didn't have close to the positioning to do it. Can the Bucks and Warriors hold serve at home in Game 4? Thought Andrew Wiggins' defense in the fourth was huge.
