LOS ANGELES, CA — After a back and forth seesaw battle between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers in the second half, due to some costly turnovers by the Warriors allowed the Los Angeles to capitalize in a major way.
LeBron James made a 34-foot 3-pointer over Stephen Curry for a 103-100 lead with 58.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, just beating the shot clock.
“After the Draymond finger to the eye, I was literally seeing three rims out there. So, I just shot to the middle one,” James said post game.
That victory allowed the Lakers to move on as the 7th seed in the playoffs to face the Phoenix Suns on Sunday afternoon.
The Warriors face the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night to determine the eight and final playoff spot in the West.
