LeBron James is trying to have a big impact in Game 4 between the Lakers and the Warriors, playing with early aggression.
That aggression seemingly backfired when LeBron tried jumping and interrupting a pass to Draymond Green, which led to him inadvertently crashing into the Warriors forward. It was called a personal foul, but it could have easily been a flagrant.

Game 4 has had a nail-biting start to the first half, with the score currently at 52-49. Both teams have had leads in the game, but neither has been able to fully put the other way so far. The second half promises to be just as entertaining as the Lakers hope to get back and take control of the game at home.
Keys To Victory For Both Teams
The Warriors are carving up the Lakers’ defense with their high pick-and-roll action, where Stephen Curry is absolutely shredding them. He has 17 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals already in the game. If Curry can continue this form, the Warriors could easily take charge of this game and close it out.
The Lakers haven’t been as dominant in the paint as they usually are, being outscored by the Warriors under the basket. The offense has looked very wooden outside of Anthony Davis, going off for 19 points and 6 rebounds in the first half, breaking his pattern of poor performances in even games in the playoffs.
D’Angelo Russell’s disastrous 1-8 start has hurt the Lakers, so if they can get reliable scoring from someone else in the lineup like Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, or Dennis Schroder, the Lakers can storm back into this.
