The Golden State Warriors took down the Los Angeles Lakers in a 123–116 win Thursday night, one that delivered with vintage performances from marquee stars Steph Curry and LeBron James.
Curry and James each led their team in scoring in a fast-paced primetime game which had key implications for the Western Conference's playoff seeding, with the Lakers ultimately falling short of a comeback late in the fourth quarter. The thrilling matchup also saw both the Warriors and Lakers trot out their new trade acquisitions in Jimmy Butler and Luka Doncic, the latter of whom had a night to forget.
