SAN FRANCISCO —
LeBron James, in his 48th minute on the court, with his team down one in double overtime, sank two free throws in the final seconds to cap a classic and give the Lakers a 145-144 win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night.
James had a triple-double with 36 points, 20 rebounds and 12 assists, outdueling longtime rival Stephen Curry, who scored 46.
Curry hit a wide-open three-pointer with 5.2 seconds left in double overtime to give the Warriors a one-point lead. James then got the ball on an inbound pass with less than four seconds left and drew a foul from Draymond Green with one second left as he drove to the basket.
