A rain delay indoors? Game 4 between the Warriors and Mavericks was delayed due to a leak in the roof at the American Airlines Center.

The series will now shift away from a rainy Dallas to the Bay Area for Game 5 on Thursday night. Liquid began to pour down on the court near the Warriors’ bench, causing a pool of water on the court. The ceiling wasn’t the only thing raining on Tuesday night.

The Warriors and Mavericks had their own reactions to the odd rain delay during Tuesday's Game 4 matchup.

“It’s raining everywhere,” Kidd said at the extended halftime. “No, once they got it cleared up, everything was fine,” Kerr said after the Warriors’ 119-109 loss to the Mavs. “So the only explanation was there was a leak, and obviously, it was right in that corner in front of our bench. “We've had the basket tilted.

NBA playoffs results: Mavericks' shooting finally shows up against ... (The Athletic)

Golden State rallied late, but the Western Conference finals are heading back to San Francisco.

To win Game 5, they have to hope the Warriors don’t explode on offense, and they have to be able to knock down 20 3-pointers once again. What can the Mavericks do to win Game 5? But then Dončić got a dunk, and following a charge by Kuminga that was upheld after a Warriors challenge, Bullock knocked down a 3-pointer with 2:43 left to push it back to 15 and essentially end the game. They have to respect that offense and the firepower it carries. But he hit timely buckets to balloon the lead, and he had a huge dunk to end a Warriors run in the fourth quarter. He got the ball to his teammates, and they knocked down shots like we’re used to seeing.

Mavs Avoid Sweep Against Warriors on Emotional Day in Dallas (Sports Illustrated)

The Mavericks avoided elimination against Golden State, but the focus wasn't just on basketball for both teams.

I’m tired of the moments of silence. While both teams performed professionally, it was hard not for Game 4 to feel especially trivial in light of the horrific event. He took no questions, and pounded the table as he called on Congress to do more to combat gun violence. The Dubs trailed by as much as 29 points in the second half, until a bench unit cut the lead to only eight points in the fourth quarter. Dallas was finally able to take advantage of the Warriors on Tuesday, recording their first win of the series as it heads back to the Bay with the Dubs still up 3–1. The Mavs’ 119–109 win in Game 4 came on the strength of their outside shooting, as their threes finally started to drop like the rain through the leaky roof of Dallas’s arena. Jason Kidd read a prepared statement, and declined to answer a basketball question, saying he was not able to given the circumstances, his voice soft as he tried to gather his thoughts.

Dallas held off Golden State to stave off elimination in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.

Arena workers had to climb up onto the catwalks near the roof and set up a tarp system to catch the water. There are few players who can control a game like Doncic, and he was not going to let the Mavericks lose. Aside from the first half of Game 2, they have not in this series, which is why the Mavericks were down 3-0 and facing elimination.
