Warriors' Lineup Decisions Haunt Them in Loss to Lakers.

The Golden State Warriors lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the NBA playoffs due to a questionable decision by coach Steve Kerr to sit Gary Payton II in the fourth quarter. Payton was the Warriors' third-highest scorer in the game and a key defensive player, but was replaced by Moses Moody. Meanwhile, Lonnie Walker IV scored 15 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Lakers to victory. Kerr's decision to sit Payton seemed uncharacteristically curious and may have cost the Warriors the game.

Warriors shake up starting lineup for must-win Game 4 against Lakers.

The Golden State Warriors are starting Gary Payton II in Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers, likely to guard D’Angelo Russell and improve their defense. This move frees up Klay Thompson to guard Austin Reaves and Steph Curry to guard Jarred Vanderbilt, while Andrew Wiggins remains on LeBron James and Draymond Green stays on Anthony Davis. The Warriors are hoping this defensively tilted lineup will get stops and increase their transition opportunities against a team that struggled with transition defense during the regular season.

Warriors overcome Green's absence and injury concerns to win Game 3.

The Golden State Warriors adjusted their defense without key players Draymond Green and Gary Payton II to limit the Sacramento Kings' high-powered offense in Game 3. The team relied on a connected and collective effort on defense, with Andrew Wiggins stepping up to smother the Kings' paint attack. On offense, the Warriors found other ways to unlock the effect of Steph Curry on defenses who try to get the ball out of his hands. The adjustments were enough to stave off the Kings and extend the series to at least Game 5.

Sacramento Kings' Playoff Run Sparks Excitement and Schedule Changes.

The matchup to watch in the Warriors-Kings series is Gary Payton II vs. De'Aaron Fox. Payton, a fan-favorite turned Mariano Rivera for the Warriors, is a reminder that dynamite comes in small packages. He is one of the best defenders in the league and will be tasked with guarding Fox, the centerpiece of the Kings' fast-paced offense. Fox is the leader in clutch time points and made over 52.9 percent of shots in such situations. Payton is the only Warriors defender that can match Fox's speed and has a 6-foot-8 wingspan that wreaks havoc. The energy is back with Payton in a Warriors jersey, and his addition to the team has been massive.

Gary Payton II sparks Warriors' comeback win against Thunder.

The Golden State Warriors came back from a 10-point deficit to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 136-125, with Gary Payton II playing a key role in the second half. Warriors coach Steve Kerr started Anthony Lamb, who was a net negative in the first half, and only played Payton for four minutes. However, in the second half, Payton played a lot more and was part of a small lineup that out-hustled the Thunder. Moses Moody also had a great game. Kerr should ditch Lamb and embrace Payton for the remaining important games.
