Get a recap of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors basketball game.
“With our offense kind of struggling to find a groove he got hot and took over the game. Lakers: Vogel was given a technical foul in the fourth quarter. The Warriors needed it on a night when Curry struggled from the perimeter. Austin Reaves chased Thompson down from behind and blocked a potential layup during the Lakers’ run to open the fourth quarter. Warriors: Curry needs four steals to tie Chris Mullin for the franchise record for steals. James tied Abdul-Jabbar’s mark of 44,149 in the first half, then surpassed it with a 3-pointer early in the third quarter. He brings an electricity to the building that’s hard to quantify.” “Just took over the game at a time when we desperately needed him,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. James had 26 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists, but missed the first free throw after Curry fouled him attempting a 3-pointer with 2.4 seconds left. “We had an opportunity to win a big game tonight,” James said. Just one of those nights where a lot of bad bounces didn’t go our way.” “It meant something special to do it for my dad,” Thompson said.
