The Golden State Warriors title defense has come to an end. For the first time in the Steve Kerr era, the Warriors have been eliminated from the playoffs before the NBA Finals.
With a 122-101 loss in Game 6 to Los Angles Lakers, the Warriors 2022-23 season came to an end.
Despite fighting back from an early 17-point deficit, LeBron James and the Lakers continued to answer every run from the Warriors in Game 6.
James paced the Lakers with a near triple-double. James notched 30 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the field with nine boards, nine assists, two steals and a block in 43 minutes.
Steph Curry’s 32 points on 11-of-28 shooting from the field with six rebounds and five assists wasn’t enough for the Warriors to extend the series to a Game 7.
With the Warriors’ season officially over, here are some thoughts and things to know from Game 6 on Friday night in Hollywood.
