Gary Payton II missed his lunch before the Warriors lost Game 4 with a video claiming he had vomit in his mount viral
On Monday, the Lakers dealt another blow to Payton and Golden State, but something strange occurred early in the first quarter. Payton left the field of play and went to the locker room after appearing to indicate the bench to call a timeout, although he didn’t appear to be visibly upset.

There might be a reason for what happened; a viewer suggested that Payton might have vomited in his mouth, albeit without the actual vomiting. Payton maintained the vomit in his mouth throughout the game and appeared to blow gobs.
Given that Payton appeared to have played the entire defensive possession with vomit in his mouth, that is a truly incredible effort from him.
Payton gave his health update post-game.
Payton eventually returned to the game following a brief trip to the locker room. When questioned about the matter after the loss, he was quite quick to brush it off without providing an explanation: With a giggle, Payton replied, “Yeah, I’m good. “Good,” I say.
To prove his argument, Payton performed admirably. In 23 minutes of game time, he shot 7 of 9 for 15 points, inspiring the Warriors to an 11-0 run in the third quarter. In the end, it wasn’t enough to prevent the Lakers from winning 104-101.
Viewers compared Payton’s sad circumstance to Paul Pierce entering the locker room in a wheelchair during the 2008 NBA Finals and speculated that Payton’s unfortunate circumstance might actually be a No. 2.
Steve Kerr is probably relieved that nobody was talking to each other on defence at this particular moment.
Fans mock Curry following LAL win over GSW.
Sometimes you just don’t feel like it. Steph Curry experienced it on Monday night as the LA Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 3-1. Immediately following the game, Steph Curry received some harsh criticism on Twitter.
Curry made 12-30 field goals while shooting 3-14 from beyond the arc. He did manage to record his 13th career triple-double by collecting 10 rebounds and 14 assists. When Lebron James is up 3-1 in the playoffs, he is an absolute beast. Curry must now undo what he did in 2016 and save the Warriors.
