The reigning NBA champions punched back from an excruciating Game 4 loss with a 121-106 win over the Los Angeles Lakers to ensure that their season would not end on Wednesday.
Adding to the Lakers’ woes, they lost Anthony Davis to a late-game head injury, leaving his Game 6 status in doubt.
Golden State opened Wednesday like it has so many of its wins during its run to four championships, connecting on four 3-pointers in the game’s first 4:30 en route to a 17-5 lead. A Lakers team that’s continued to strengthen since a midseason roster makeover responded and erased its early deficit with a 50-50 tie midway through the second quarter. It did so looking repeatedly to Davis, who thrived against an outmatched Kevon Looney in the post.
Game 6 is scheduled for Friday night in Los Angeles.
Lebron had 51 in a finals game where the kd warriors won by 10 and Warriors fans want sympathy for Steph not being able to win against D’Angelo Russell and Lonnie Walker lmao https://t.co/uMNz7Ob0bP
