Harrison Barnes Reacts to Missing Game-Winner vs Warriors in Game 4

Harrison Barnes has already composed himself from the loss.

Harrison Barnes has seen it all during his NBA career, even the most epic blown lead in the history of NBA basketball when the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead against the Cavaliers. That's why missing one game-winner against the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 doesn't really affect his psyche.

"After you learn to put yourself together after 2016, I think one shot is not going to necessarily faze you," Barnes said after the game. "For me, it's all about trusting the process. We got a good look, we missed it. At the end of the day, I think the way that we're playing, the way that we're in the series right now, we just have to continue to do that.

If Harrison Barnes would have hit that game-winner in Game 4, then the Golden State Warriors would be in legitimate trouble, down 3-1. The Warriors are incredibly fortunate Barnes missed the shot with how much of an opportunity they gave the Kings down the stretch. It would have been a strange level of poetic irony for Barnes to be the one to potentially send the Warriors home.

Now, the Warriors have a legitimate chance to take advantage in the series with a win against the Kings in Game 5. If that happens, one would have to believe the Warriors would finish Sacramento off at home in Game 6.
