Stephen Curry is coming off a casual 52-point outburst in a 134-125 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, while the Lakers — led by LeBron James, Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic — are riding momentum from a 104-98 victory over the Houston Rockets.
Los Angeles has dominated division opponents (12-3), while Golden State has struggled (3-10), though the addition of Jimmy Butler III has helped spark a late-season surge. And when games go down to the wire, the Warriors (6-5 in games decided by fewer than 4 points) have outperformed the Lakers (4-6 in games decided by 3 or fewer).
Expect fireworks, deep threes and plenty of drama in this late-night battle. Follow along for all the big plays and best moments from player arrivals to the final buzzer. {“https://go.arena.im”===e.origin&&”arena-iframe-size”===e.data.source&&(t=document.getElementById(“arena-liveblog-iframe-J97ejYp”))&&(t.style.height=e.data.height+”px”,t.contentWindow.postMessage({type:”parentURL”,url:document.location.href},”https://go.arena.im”))},!1);]]>
