Trips to the line were even b. That's the difference.
AD had 30 and 20 game 1.
Game was tied with a minute and a half left.
Lost by 5, but really by 3, since the last two points were a foul to stop the clock. So all of that 'defense and massive game by AD to be up 3 with a minute left.
Free throw differential....29 to 6. If warriors had got just 6 more free throws...still wouldn't even have been half of the cheated ones the refs gave the Lakers, but just 6 more and they win.
But for every 1 free throw the warriors got, the Lakers got essentially 5.
That's the difference.
Lakers ain't get shorter. Warriors ain't get taller.
Toight you didn't get a big AD game and the refs didn't cheat to help that bum *** offense stay close.
