The Golden State Warriors are facing a daunting task of winning three straight games in the Finals after losing Game 4 to the Toronto Raptors 105-92. For the first time in three years, the Dubs are in a must-win situation, an unfamiliar territory for a team that has dominated the league for half a decade.
However, for Draymond Green, Golden State can still turn the series around. After all, he witnessed it before.
Draymond Green: "I've been on the wrong side of 3-1 before. Why not make our own history?"

Green was a member of the Warriors team that had a 3-1 series lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals. Back then, they thought they were winning another championship; nonetheless, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving led the Cavs to a historic comeback to bring Cleveland's first ever Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Now the Warriors will look to prevent another team from making history at their expense.
Game 5 of the series will be played in Toronto at Scotiabank Arena, where the Raptors can win their first NBA title.
The Warriors have the talent and experience to turn things around though, especially with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson playing well in the Finals. But in order for them to win Game 5, they will need significant contributions from everyone on the team, especially from Green himself.
The Warriors are still hoping that they could get Kevin Durant back in Game 5, but judging by all the speculations out there, it seems that he will not be able to play in this series anymore.
With or without KD, the Warriors will need to figure out a way to win Game 5 on Monday. Or else, they can kiss the three-peat goodbye.
