Yeezy Tries To Outshine Riley Curry

SI's Best Photos from Game 4: David Lee came off the bench for the Warriors again in Game 4 and scored nine points with five rebounds and three assists as Golden State won 103-82 to tie the series at two games each.

Klay Thompson and the Warriors avoided suffering their first three-game losing streak of the season.

Iman Shumpert and the Cavaliers trailed 54-42 at the half.

Steph Curry and the Warriors doubled LeBron James more than in earlier games, holding him to 20 points -- none in the fourth quarter.

Matthew Dellavedova came back to earth in Game 4, finishing with 10 points in his 33 minutes of playing time.

LeBron James suffered several cuts to his head after crashing into a cameraman. James hit only four of his 14 shots after that.

Timofey Mozgov scored a career-high 28 points in Game 4 to lead all players in scoring.

Steph Curry sank 8 of his 17 shots for a team-high 22 points.

Tristan Thompson blocks a Draymond Green shot.

Matthew Dellavedova made only three of his 14 shot attempts.

The Warriors locked up a series-shifting Game 4 win on Thursday night, but it was Kanye, not Riley Curry, who drew the media's attention at the podium even before the game was over. Even though it doesn't seem like he'd admit it, Kanye had a pretty good night.

Still, at this point no Warriors win is complete without Riley getting some airtime to win our hearts all over again.

Ouch

LeBron's nasty collision with a camera behind the baseline was nothing a kiss from Mom (and some glue) couldn't fix, but it was still a scary moment for a Cleveland team that needs him at his lethal best more than ever. As other star athletes pointed out, that type of accident is nothing we haven't seen before in sports:
