Watch as Steph Curry Clamps LeBron James In Warriors’ 128-121 Win at Lakers
Stephen Curry made a triumphant return after missing the Golden State Warriors’ last three games due to a sprained right ankle.
Dropping an impressive 31 points, Curry’s standout moment came in the closing minutes of the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, where his defensive prowess shone brightly.
The critical play unfolded with just 1:27 left on the clock, as the Lakers attempted to claw their way back into the game, trailing 124-117.
LeBron James, a force to be reckoned with, seemingly sought an isolation matchup against Curry. However, Curry’s tenacity and defensive skill thwarted James’ efforts, leading to a turnover. Seizing the opportunity, Curry swiftly found Draymond Green, who then fed Jonathan Kuminga for an easy two points.
Despite the turnover, LeBron James delivered an outstanding performance, notching 40 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds for the Lakers. D’Angelo Russell also contributed significantly with 23 points and 13 assists.
On the Warriors’ side, Klay Thompson, coming off the bench, added 26 points, while Jonathan Kuminga showcased his prowess with 23 points.
Although Draymond Green’s offensive output was modest, tallying only six points, his contributions were undeniable, amassing 13 assists and 12 rebounds.
