On Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors beat the Lakers (in Los Angeles) by a score of 123-116.
Steph Curry led the way with 37 points, three rebounds and six assists while shooting 10/21 from the field and 4/11 from the three-point range in 34 minutes of playing time.
Via Anthony Slater of The Athletic: “Warriors get their two biggest wins of the season to close this six-game trip: at Grizzlies, at Lakers to continue climb up the standings.
Two major factors tonight: Brandin Podziemski’s eight 3s (28-8-6 line) and Jonathan Kuminga’s 18-9-4 off the bench. Earned closing role.”
