Lakers beat Warriors at home to open 3-1 in NBA West Semifinals

With a show by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors last night (8), at Crypto.com Arena, by the score of 104 to 101, and opened 3 to 1 in the confrontation. The game was the fourth in the series between the two California State franchises.

Once again, the highlights were the stars of the home team: LeBron scored 27 points and nine rebounds, while Anthony Davis ended the duel with another double-double on the account, scoring 23 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. In addition to them, another positive highlight of the night was Lonnie Walker IV, who shone in the final straight with decisive balls of three.

On the visitors’ side, Stephen Curry was the star again: he recorded 31 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds, ending the game with a triple-double – it was Curry’s third time with double figures in three statistics in a postseason game .

However, the historic performance of the number 30 was not enough for the Golden State franchise to win: no other player on the team scored more than 20 points. Klay Thompson, his main teammate, had a lackluster performance, ending the night with just nine points scored.
