Lakers Overcome Slow Start And Dominate Warriors In Third Quarter

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors, 116-86.

Without LeBron James, the Lakers experienced some difficulty scoring from the field but luckily their defense was able to keep the Warriors from putting up points as well. Anthony Davis looked to carry the offensive load, but Draymond Green gave him trouble and allowed Golden State to take the lead after a pair of three-pointers.

The Lakers were able to chip away at the deficit as the Warriors began to settle for jumpers and turned the ball over. A late foul from Markieff Morris on a three-point attempt allowed Golden State to tie the game 24-24 heading into the second quarter.
