周一晚NBA西部决赛第一场，虽然勇士队上来4-12落后于火箭，但第四节一开始就领先了。请看本报昨日的报道：

Kevin Durant scored 37 points and Klay Thompson added 28 to lead Golden State to a 119-106 win in the long-awaited showdown with the Houston Rockets in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals Monday night.

Starting a playoff series on the road for the first time since 2014, the Warriors trailed by as many as 9 early, but had evened it up by halftime and used a big run at the beginning of the fourth quarter to pull away.

“We’re in the Western Conference Finals. They are going to come out with a lot of energy,” Durant said. “We’re going to take that first punch and keep punching.”

报道中的pull away就是“（开始）领先”，例如：

The faster runners began to pull away from the others when it came to the second lap.

从第二圈开始跑得快的选手就把其他人甩在后面了。
