The Los Angeles Lakers were out to remind the Golden State Warriors that yesterday’s win over the Utah Jazz was just that: yesterday’s news. The Lakers came to Chase Center and dominated the Warriors on Monday night in a 128-97 victory, led by a triple-double from LeBron James. James finished with 22 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes of action as the Lakers dominated Golden State from wire to wire.
The Lakers had a 3-point shooting night they’ve been searching for what seems like months, going 11 of 27 (40%) from the 3-point line. Markieff Morris, LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope all hit multiple 3-pointers for the Lakers in the win.
Stephen Curry had 27 points to lead Golden State in the loss as the Lakers completely suffocated the Warriors’ offense, holding them to just 97 points. The Lakers also got some extra rest for LeBron James before heading into a back-to-back against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
