Lakers player grades: LeBron James, L.A. crumble in clutch time in loss to Warriors

See how the Los Angeles Lakers graded individually after a close loss to the Golden State Warriors.

The Los Angeles Lakers Saturday lost to the Golden State Warriors, 117-115.

This game looked like it would end in another blowout loss for L.A. after Golden State took a 14-point lead. The Lakers didn’t have much going for them on either end of the floor, but the momentum started to shift in the latter half of the second quarter.

Los Angeles eventually came back and took the lead, which resulted in an entertaining back-and-forth fourth quarter. Klay Thompson erupted and dropped 16 of his 33 points in that period while Austin Reaves also made big-time plays.

However, LeBron James and Anthony Davis couldn’t make the plays necessary to close out the game despite having the lead.
