The Golden State Warriors continued their push for a playoff spot on Saturday night with a 128-121 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena.
Golden State improved to 35-31 on the season with the victory, moving into ninth place in the Western Conference.
It was an important victory for the Warriors, though they benefitted greatly from the fact that Lakers star Anthony Davis played just 12 minutes before being ruled out with an eye contusion that The Athletic and Stadium's Shams Charania reported to be a corneal abrasion.
Despite the loss, LeBron James put together one of his highest-scoring performances of the season, finishing with 40 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block.
