'It's gonna be epic': Stephen Curry and LeBron James face off -- again
SACRAMENTO -- At some point it will be someone else's time. One of the young teams that tries to dethrone the Golden State Warriors will break through. One of the defensive-stoppers assigned to bottle up Stephen Curry will actually do it. An agitator will do more than poke the bear that is LeBron James.
But not yet.
Not after Curry scored 50 points to lead the Warriors to a 120-100 win against the No. 3-seeded Sacramento Kings in Game 7 of their wildly entertaining first-round series Sunday afternoon.
Not after James led the Los Angeles Lakers to a resounding 40-point win against the No. 2-seeded Memphis Grizzlies to wrap up their first-round series, 4-2, on Friday night.
