After winning six of their last seven games before the All-Star break, the Golden State Warriors wasted no time picking up right where they left off after the break.
In a pivotal matchup for the Western Conference playoff race, the Warriors cruised to a dominant win over the Los Angeles Lakers in their first game after the All-Star break on Thursday, 128-110.
Steph Curry took over early, scoring 16 points with four made 3-pointers in the first quarter. Coming off his 10th appearance in the All-Star game, Curry finished with a game-high 32 points on 12-of-24 shooting with six made 3-pointers to go along with eight assists and three steals in 32 minutes.
Rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis tallied 17 points off the bench on 8-of-10 shooting from the field with five rebounds in 15 minutes.

Warriors get a comfortable win over the Lakers (without LeBron). Steph Curry had 32 points in 31 minutes. Record up to 28-26. They're a half-game behind the Lakers for #9. Two matchups in LA later this season. GSW gained game on LAL and Suns today. Mavericks, Pelicans, Kings won.

Klay Thompson, 1-for-9 shooting, comes curling off a screen and has a good look …
But he passes to TJD for a dunk, his 5th assist of the night
This is the smart play they need from him
