Since the duo of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson came to the Bay Area, the Golden State Warriors have poured in 3-pointer after 3-pointer, recording multiple accolades and taking over different spots in the NBA history books.
On Tuesday in Hollywood against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Golden State Warriors splashed a flurry of 3-pointers to fuel a much-needed win in the race for seeding in the play-in tournament while making history from beyond the arc.
On the way to a critical 134-120 win over the Lakers on the road, the Warriors caught fire from long distance. Curry, Thompson and Draymond Green all knocked down five 3-pointers, while Andrew Wiggins, Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton II drilled two of more triples against the Lakers.
The Warriors 26 made 3-pointers on 41 attempts from deep for a new season high and a ridiculous record-breaking 63.4% field goal percentage from behind the 3-point line. Golden State’s barrage of 26 3-pointers was the most given up by the Lakers all time.
With their win, the Warriors secured the head-to-head tiebreaker and moved one-half game behind the Lakers for ninth in the Western Conference.
Following the Warriors’ win over the Lakers on Tuesday night, the NBA community on X, formerly known as Twitter, offered different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on social media.

One of the Warriors’ strongest offensive games as of late. 58.8% FG and 63.4% from three. 40 paint points. The 2nd time Thompson, Curry and Green all hit 5 3’s in a game.
Thompson: 27 points on 10/16 FG, 5 3s
Curry: 23 points on 7/9 FG, 6/6 FG3
Green: 15 points on 5/7 FG, all 3s— Kendra Andrews (@kendra__andrews) April 10, 2024
Warriors beat the Lakers, clinch tiebreaker, control their own destiny for ninth seed. If they beat the Blazers, Pelicans and Jazz this week, they finish ahead of the Lakers.
Two Kings losses or three Pelicans or Suns losses this week and GSW can climb into 8th with 3-0 finish.
