The Spurs just delayed the inevitable when they stayed alive with a 103-90 win home at San Antonio in Game 4 on Sunday. It was the perfect storm with Spurs hitting 15-of-28 from 3-point range and the Warriors turning the ball over 18 times (seven turnovers in the game's first 5 1/2 minutes).

That loss can't sit right with the Warriors who are still holding a 3-1 lead in the series and will be looking to the Western Conference semifinals where the Pelicans are already waiting. "Lack of focus to start the game was really the key," Warriors coach Steve Kerr noted. "More than energy, it was a sense of purpose. And I take a lot of the blame for that. I should know better as a coach of a team that's been up 3-0 plenty times -- you gotta know you're going into the lion's den ..."

Kerr won't make the same mistake twice, and we can note that for the third game in a row, the Spurs will be coached Tuesday by assistant Ettore Messina, with Gregg Popovich having left the team after the death of his wife last week. Massive coaching advantage GS.

The Warriors won the first three matchups of the series by an average of 16.3 ppg, and I expect a BLOWOUT win for GS home at Oracle Arena Tuesday night.
