Warriors edge out Lakers 128-121

In a crucial Western Conference game on Saturday night, the Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 128-121 with 31 points from Stephen Curry, 26 points from Klay Thompson, and 2 steals. The Lakers, who lost Anthony Davis to an eye injury in the last three quarters, were led by LeBron James, who finished with 40 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds.

After winning a game that saw two replay reviews, one of which reversed an apparent 3-pointer by James, and a broken clock, the Warriors edged out the Lakers by a percentage point to take ninth place in the Western Conference. After missing the previous game due to back soreness, Draymond Green finished with six points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists for the Warriors, while Jonathan Kuminga contributed 23 points. D'Angelo Russell gave the Lakers, who have lost their last two games, an additional 23 points and 13 assists.
