Steph Curry Shines, but Lakers Edge Warriors 115-113 in a Thriller
The Lakers and Warriors delivered a nail-biting showdown that will be remembered for years. Steph Curry showcased his brilliance with 38 points, including two clutch three-pointers in the final minutes, leading the Warriors (14-15) back from a 9-point deficit. However, the Lakers (13-17) sealed the victory with Austin Reaves’ incredible triple-double—26 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists—capped by a game-winning shot with just one second remaining.
LeBron James received solid support from Rui Hachimura (18 points, 5-for-7 from three) and Dalton Knecht (13 points, 6 rebounds off the bench). Meanwhile, Andrew Wiggins (21 points, 12 rebounds) and rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis (11 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks) stood out for the Warriors, but the rest of Curry’s supporting cast struggled.
Draymond Green provided a defensive presence with 10 boards, 6 assists, and 4 blocks but struggled offensively, shooting just 1-for-6. Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield combined for an inconsistent 9-for-26, leaving the Warriors unable to capitalize on Curry’s heroics.
The Warriors now head to Southern California to face the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday at 7:00 PM PT.
