The Warriors starting the Death Lineup in Game 4 means they’re ready to get serious
You know when the Golden State Warriors really care. It’s not that they usually screw around — though that has been known to happen, too — but you can always tell when the Warriors flip the switch to their highest level of play. In Game 4’s 118-92 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, it clearly happened.
The easiest way to tell is how much Golden State uses the Death Lineup. For the first time in the team’s history, the Warriors started those five players — Andre Iguodala joining the Warriors’ Big Four. It was a clear sign: “We’re not playing games anymore.” Boy, they weren’t joking.
