Golden State Warriors snap LA Lakers’ win streak in 115-113 game
The Stephen Curry-led Golden State Warriors
came from 14 down to defeat reigning NBA champions the Los Angeles Lakers last
evening.
The Warriors rallied in the fourth quarter
to close a double-digit deficit and beat the Lakers 115-113.
The Lakers started off strong, opening up
a 19-point lead in the first quarter before the Warriors put in a mighty
performance in the final quarter.
With 5:52 on the clock, Golden State trailed
106-97 before going on a scoring spree that saw them end the champs’ five-game
win streak.
After the game, Curry, who scored 26
points, said, ““We kept our
composure. The second unit was amazing both halves,” Curry said. “We got some
momentum in the second half to give us a chance and carry us down the stretch.
It was similar to the Clippers game. We’ve done it twice now, but want to get
leads early.”
The Lakers’ top man,
LeBron James, said there were some “tough calls” against the team in the second
quarter that made them undable to “get back into a rhythm.”
