In a highly anticipated match-up, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 113-105 on Sunday afternoon. The Lakers were led by an outstanding performance from Anthony Davis, who scored 39 points on 14-of-25 shooting, while also contributing eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and zero turnovers.
The Warriors struggled to get going early, as the Lakers raced out to a 33-18 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Lakers would lead as much as 20 at one point, but the Warriors fought back to get within one. However, the Lakers were able to hold on to secure the win.
Steph Curry led the Warriors with 27 points, Klay Thompson added 22 points, while Draymond Green had a solid all-around game with 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and no turnovers.
For the Lakers, Davis was the star of the show, but he had plenty of help from his supporting cast. Austin Reaves had 16 points, while Troy Brown Jr. chipped in with 14 points and eight rebounds. Jarred Vanderbilt had a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds.
The win was a big one for the Lakers, as with just 17 games remaining in the regular season, every win is crucial, and the Lakers will look to build on this victory as they head into the home stretch. The Lakers will play the Memphis Grizzlies next on Tuesday.
