The Lakers lost? Five reasons the Warriors won the game

A twist!

Instead of five takeaways from the Lakers’ 115-113 loss to Golden State, here are five reasons why the Lakers lost 115-113 to the Warriors:

1. The stars weren’t good enough

The Lakers’ Dennis Schroder, Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell played well — at least offensively — but it’s not a great sign when Anthony Davis and LeBron James get outscored by Andrew Wiggins and Eric Paschall.

The Lakers stars had only 36 points, the two never getting in synch on the offensive end. Even when the Lakers built a 19-point lead, it was Davis’ passing, not shot-making, that was fueling the offense.
