LeBron James and Stephen Curry

In the first meeting between these two sides in the season, LA Lakers blew up a 14-point 4th quarter lead. The defending champions made sure; they don’t meet the same fate this time around. A very dominating performance since the 1st quarter ensured they cruise past Eric Paschall and Stephen Curry led Golden State Warriors. LeBron James led the team with 19 points. 

LeBron was playing in his 1,300th regular-season appearance as the Lakers routed the Warriors 117-91. He was one of six Los Angeles players to score in double figures in a game that was never in doubt. The Lakers almost led by 30 points by the end of the halftime over Golden State Warriors.

Lakers head coach, Frank Vogel said the best thing to come out of the game was that James played a season-low 24 minutes and sat during the fourth quarter.
