the NBA on 2K Sports this is Brian Anderson with me Richard Jefferson and Grant Hill and reporting courtside it’s Ali Leforce all right checking out Golden State’s opening lineup curry and Pods make up the back court green out there with Butler and it’s Moody in at small forward and for the Lakers at the forward slots it’s LeBron and Aimura luca Donuch is out there with Austin Reeves and it’s Hayes in at the five down low richard what do you expect to see from this guard matchup these guys are lethal one-on-one but I think the key is to keep their teammates involved playing unselfish basketball it’ll be the Warriors off the tip outside Moody [Applause] back to Curry [Applause] green a screen and that’s good stephen Curry for three not sure there’s such a thing as a bad three for Steph [Music] pass to Aimura back to Donic James a screen on Curry to the paint oh they get a hand on it oh and a fast break for the Warriors [Applause] it’s tipped hachimura against Curry hachimura outside pass to Hayes and finished off by Hayes now I know he makes it look easy but it takes incredible physical tools to pull that off athleticism and explosion and just over a minute played here to start the game and so it’s Curry with it he brings it up for the Warriors a moment to hear from Alli Leforce i did briefly speak with JJ Reic i asked him specifically about Stephen Curry and what his defensive game plan is for him and he told me I just talked with him about communicating out there especially when the screens are coming we can’t give Steph an inch in those situations i think it’s fair to say we can expect to hear a lot of chatter out there tonight guys thank you for that Ally now here’s Pachki pass to Curry green with a screen on Reeves here’s Butler shot clock at five the three ball it’s Hayes with the rebound here are the Lakers now now here is James here’s Donic [Applause] reeves with a screen on Curry here’s Donic always a nice way to start makes his first one yeah from a tough spot on the floor luca shooting ability on display right there remember when people were questioning whether the Warriors were truly a dynasty R.J i do and that was erased for good with that championship run in 2022 i still think that that is Steph’s most important championship that title cemented them as one of the all-time great teams of the last 50 years now here’s Donic there’s the three and that one makes him two for two he’s in his rhythm encouraging to see Donic sink the three needs to keep doing this now and Steve Kerr calls timeout coach wants to speak to his guys maybe alter some of the game plan in 2024 Luca Donuch recorded six consecutive 30point triple double games that’s right BA the first time anyone has done it in NBA history so if you didn’t already believe in Luca Magic well there’s some proof that the magic is real you see yourself in the big show [Applause] good job let’s see heat heat [Applause] thank you for all [Applause] And we’re about 3 minutes into this first quarter outside Curry green with a screen on Donic and here’s Curry for three it’s rebounded by Los Angeles now here’s Hachimura [Applause] outside Reeves [Applause] donic outside just five to shoot going inside rebounded by Green he’s as surprised as we are most nights that bucket is automatic and it’s Butler with the jam and this is where Butler wants to attack you ground zero and Reeves has got the ball here for Los Angeles james outside so it’ll be two free throws he was fouled in the act of shooting and how about LeBron even if he’s no longer the clear-cut best player in the league he can still take over a game rj oh make no mistake he is still the best when he needs to be absolutely has a switch that gets flipped when he needs it he’s not on for 48 minutes but he can definitely turn it on for a few and the first one at the line is good well Grant even though it looks like LeBron could play forever he stated that he doesn’t have much time left well it’s unbelievable that he sustained this level of excellence for as long as he has i would be surprised if we see this type of longevity ever again cold free throws good from James what I appreciate about LeBron is how much he loves being a leader he knows how much his teammates count on him now here’s Curry pass to Moody [Applause] back to Curry green with the ball and that one goes in as he’s fouled it’ll be three points if he converts the free throw and when we talk about players who impact winning Draymond Green is high on that list RJ and the amazing thing his career scoring average is in the single digits draymond does it with his passing and directing the defense and gives his teams energy [Applause] free throw good green the quintessential glue guy green does all the dirty work you need one of these guys on your team because he has such a diverse skill set now here’s Reeves no points yet back to Donic Mur from long range that won’t go for him now 0 for two the Warriors trailing outside Moody inside here’s Curry again golden State the better shooter you are the quicker you become curry makes it so hard to guard him in these little moments he slips past the defense here’s James and it’s James with the jam he finds the shooter in motion and is confident he can threat him with the lead pass well done donic against Curry pass to Pajimski outside moody on the wing curry [Music] [Applause] and it’s good two points curry’s got seven points put your head down and go to work that’s what they need to do yeah when the game is up for grabs like this one has been it’s all about the attention to detail now here’s Donic five points in the game reeves and count that two points and a chance for one more at the line few guys distribute better than Donic he’s got good instincts for when and where to send the ball he’s getting his first free throw attempt of the game here finny Smith checked in for Achimura austin Reeds find the lanes find the lanes one shot [Applause] that one misses for Reeves and his defenses have adjusted to Austin Reeves scoring richard he’s countered with the pass austin Reeves doesn’t get enough credit for how good his handle is how much it’s improved it’s allowed for him to score get into different places and make these passes i like when Donic goes right up with it giving the defense no time to react and Steve Kerr calls timeout he’ll take the opportunity to regroup adjustments are a part of every game and every quarter of a game i think coach sees something here yeah this is a good opportunity to get your group together and make sure everyone is on the same page on the court your hype all right fans get on your feet make some noise it’s t-shirt time heat heat heat up here heat heat [Applause] pass to Pimsky [Applause] outside curry sinks it from distance curry’s got 10 points when Curry gets a look that’s good he is automatic there is almost no stopping him james outside [Music] outside reeves now here is James moody defends connects from downtown 11 points in the game and look at Luca now getting aggressive at the arc he was eager to answer that last three outside Pajki pass to Green [Applause] over Hayes it’s Hayes with the rebound hayes has got five rebounds tonight james right side now hayes here’s Fenny Smith and it’s off from three-point range and let’s swing it over to the sideline and hear from Ally hey Brian no surprise here stephen Curry hopes to be a Warrior for life he said being a part of a group of legends that have played for one franchise established a culture and won at the highest level and did it with a lot of different roster combinations i don’t ever take that for granted brian what a run yeah it is a great run and he’s been the foundation ally thank you shot clock at six and here’s Donic outside and the rebound goes to the Warriors [Applause] the three from Curry lebron with the rebound defense dodged the bullet that time total breakdown reeves against Curry [Music] james inside and the layup is good off the glass in the paint lebron James is capable of running right over the defender that is athletic now here’s Butler he’s marked by Finny Smith and that one’s good green good execution they’re getting some short range looks here the Lakers lead by four pass to Hayes and the foul called on Draymond Green that’s his first foul connect checked in for the Lakers the Warriors also with a sub heels checked in substitution on the court [Applause] unloads from 13 it’s going to be on LeBron James that’s his first foul that’s his first personal foul and some changes here for the Warriors jackson Davis has checked in for Draymond Green kaminga comes in for Moody and Payton is subbed in for Pachki payton the second warriors trail by four butler with the ball rebounded by LeBron this has not been his best quarter yeah he needs to mix things up on the offense he simply just can’t keep missing shots at this rate because he’s destroying his teammates now here’s Duchic 11 points in the game got it the size and strength of Donic can go overlooked i mean he’s more than capable of scoring there in the paint pass to Jackson Davis and here’s Butler he’s marked by Finny Smith and Butler the bucket on the assist by Kuminga butler’s got his second basket love to see that kind of activity he just makes things happen now here’s Finny Smith back to Donic over heel a rare miss for him that was a good look for him from mid-range but just couldn’t make the defense pay now Butler outside heel from deep three-point land it’s rebounded by Los Angeles hayes has got his sixth rebound on the night james passes to Penny Smith out to James two minutes five to shoot [Applause] they shoot again and the bucket is good james has got eight points just a master of the mid-range but LeBron James he knows how to get to his spots and knock down the shots now here’s Butler minute 32 left in the opening quarter cash money from 16 ft away six points for him nice job to recognize the lack of D in that medium range area donic feeling it out a bit hayes the pass to Finny Smith [Applause] james with the ball kuminga defends hayes shots good and LeBron James will outsmart you he will open up things for other teammates with the pick and roll donic against heel outside Kaminga back to Heel outside peyton from deep and that’s good his first bucket of the game look at He’s unselfish approach he’s working to find everyone to look not just himself here’s James that one falls great setup by Donic and the Lakers lead by five and it’s Butler with the ball for the Warriors there’s a 4-second difference from the shot clock and the game clock shot from the low block again golden State los Angeles has gone three of six shooting from beyond the arc [Applause] donic against heel donic shot is good donic has got 15 and his fantastic performance from the last game has carried over to tonight he’s just riding the wave of momentum right now getting to his spots and keeping things simple on the offensive side and that does it for the first quarter it’s Los Angeles up by five and we’ll get the second quarter underway on the other side of this break [Applause] hope you’ve enjoyed the broadcast so far halfway through the first half in this one and let’s take a moment here to get your take guys on the scoring so far for Los Angeles they’ve started the game the right way penetrating the defense and attacking the rim they’re just not settling another area they’ve excelled in is the points in the paint they’ve been able to gouge the interior defense so far in this one all right we’ve now got our 2K insider Shams Terrannia on the line he’s got a special report shs it’s all yours thanks many consider this summer to be the most challenging field in the history of international basketball nevertheless Team USA got it done in Paris it’s not getting any easier but the star power of the US men’s team shine bright in the city of lights guys a classic ending for a stacked US roster what a performance shams Girania with the report thanks Shams jared Vanderbilt out there with Connect then there’s Dorian Finny Smith then it’s Austin Reeves and it’s Vincent in at the point that’s the group for the Lakers to kick off the second quarter well Richard with the relocations and the floor he covers Curry is still an anomaly with his conditioning oh he’s got an offse program that would make other NBA stars tap out including myself his conditioning is amongst the best of all time it wears on you as a defender [Applause] first one falls for him you know for all the accolades thrown Stephen Curry’s way Richard I’ve heard you say he might be the best condition player ever absolutely when you think about all the ground he covers every single game his stamina is still something that I will always be impressed with and so Curry nails both of them for a star like him you get lots of opportunities at the line and he’s great at cashing them in on the wing reeves guarded by Heel the shot by Reeves no good would you say testing the limits of his range there yeah he might have been feeling himself a little too much on that one he can hit it but not consistently pass to Jackson Davis outside heel six to shoot [Applause] another shot and the shot counts he’s fouled and it’s a chance for a three-point play and he’ll be shooting his first free throw and the Lakers making a change here aimura’s checked in shooting for Golden State money Hill one shot [Applause] the free throw off from heel guys like Buddy Hill knock down shooters they are in high demand around the league outside curry from deep oh Curry stretching the limits wow what a shot second quarter of action about a minute and a half played vincent passes to Finny Smith vincent with a ball pass to connect now finny Smith covered by Jackson Davis five on the clock and here’s Reeves outside hits the trifecta reeves has got five points now in the quarter and that’s how you up the ante come right back at him yeah I love the competitive fire right there you drain a triple on us and I’m coming for my revenge and the call will be against Austin Reeds that’s his first foul of the game and that puts them just one foul from the bonus good ones checked in for the Lakers looney’s checked in for the Warriors [Applause] and here’s Payton [Applause] to the inside and it’s stolen by Finny Smith here’s Reeves and a foul called on the way up so he’ll take two from the free throw line that’s on Gary Payton second first team foul and this is his second and third free throws tonight austin Reed two shots [Applause] shooting two [Applause] and he drops a first and so Reeves nails both of them warriors trail by five [Applause] curry surveys looney up top heel finds Looney up top Curry it’s rebounded by Los Angeles aimura outside pass to Reeves and once again off the mark by Los Angeles golden State has gone four of nine so far from the perimeter peyton with it now here’s Looney he’s covered by Vincent outside kaminga beyond the arc and Reeves pulls it down the Lakers lead by five as to Goodwin back to Reeves takes the three pure from three-point range reeves has got 10 points in the quarter got to fight harder to get over those screens yeah as soon as these guys feel contact they are just disappearing like they’re not even there you got to show some fire and keep defending and here’s Can they get it that drops and it comes off an assist from Curry he’s got five love the response there from Heield matching threes here’s Vincent yet to see a basket [Music] sinks that one from the post and the Lakers lead by seven used the pick to perfection and got all the way to the rim outside Curry [Applause] clock at six from about 16 rebound by the Lakers vincent passes to Reeves doubled by Peyton outside Finny Smith back to Reeves over healed the shot comes out and so Curry will bring it up for the Warriors seven-point differential here’s Looney oh look at Looney finding space inside and once more this half they find a way to get great position inside reeves against heel right side reeves looney grabs a miss warriors trail by five outside Payton pass to heel from behind the ark menson grabs a miss los Angeles has gone five of 10 from beyond the three-point line in this game healed against Reeves aimura sets a screen shot left block no four for nine from the floor now golden State has gone two of four from the perimeter in the second so far pass to Curry and so the ball out of bounds he’ll touch it last like like what like what is going on right now some changes for Los Angeles lebron he’s checked in for Goodwin and Luca Donuch subbed in for Vincent and a new group getting ready for the Warriors draymond Green he’s checked in for Looney butler comes in for Kaminga moody’s checked in for Payton and it’s Brandon Pajimsky in for Heield and we’ve got a timeout called by JJ Reick he’s going to talk it over with his guys [Applause] together heat heat heat heat [Music] put your hands together for the Lakers [Applause] now here is James tight defense owner for such a big dude all he needs is just a little bit of daylight and LeBron is going to be hanging on that rim outside Curry there’s the triple the Lakers with a rebound james has got five rebounds in the game here’s Donic and they’re going to count that bucket and they’ll send him to the line it could be a three-point play and going right through the contact luca has tremendous strength especially for a guy who handles the ball so much goodwins checked in for the Lakers cut the line for Los Angeles luca Dant one shot behind the lanes behind the lanes one shot [Applause] and Doness is a walking triple double threat his versatility and confidence is really special [Applause] curry against Donic shoots from 12 cool nice job in the paint from Curry here’s Goodwin still no points outside finny Smith oh a clear foul there on the miss shot so he’ll get a pair at the line and Richard after going undrafted back in 2016 what a career for Dorian Finny Smith approaching a decade in this league he’s been a starter for most of that time but he continues to be the definition of a three ND glue guy take a break take a break two shots [Applause] and he makes a first that one’s no good warriors trail by nine [Applause] butler with the ball picked up by James butler passes to Green to the middle outside for Butler green with a screen on James down low oh Green dropping the hammer and I like seeing Green go up for that flush showing how powerful he can be to the middle oh got a piece of it now here’s Pachki still without a bucket here’s Green good D by Finny Smith yeah we’re not used to seeing him get bottled up like that wow there’s the strength of the king yeah just too much big boy basketball by LeBron James just bodying defenders inside outside Moody pass to Pajimsky outside Butler the three is up good that’s his fifth bucket in nine attempts that right there that’s the kind of look this system is designed to create [Music] here’s Aimura here’s James moody defends james can’t get it to go warriors trail by six curry passes to Butler [Applause] donic against Curry six on the shot clock corner releases gets rebounded by Goodwin the Lakers lead by six benny Smith is screened fires the three hauled in by Curry curry’s got four rebounds now let’s go now to the sideline and catch up with Alli Leforce brian the Warriors play a unique style predicated on passing and cutting off the ball stephen Curry said the main goal is to just force the defense to make as many decisions as you can so with all that ball movement and body movement they’re going to mess up at some point brian well it helps having a weapon like Stephen Curry thanks Ally [Applause] the first one falls and how about Brandon Pajimky Richard when he’s given the minutes he can stuff the stat sheet yeah even when it comes to his rebounding BA that’s the result of great heart great hustle and great timing his teammates feed off his energy vanderbilts checked in for Los Angeles milton comes in for Goodwin and Golden State also making a switch heels checked in and that’s good as he hits both shots [Applause] and so James will bring it up for the Los Angeles Lakers they’ve led by as much as 10 [Applause] back to Donic three-pointer that falls nice feed that time from James james has got his fifth assist in this one and Steve Kerr calls timeout here he wants to give him a breather and talk things over heading into

peyton’s checked in [Applause] good on the second one now Butler he’s got 11 the floater blocked and they’ll get another chance here’s Pajki it’s Hayes with the rebound hayes has got seven rebounds in the game look at LeBron with the strength to score through contact when LeBron is being aggressive on offense you got to make a change you can’t let him just have his way butler passes to Heel to the paint here’s Payton and that one makes him two for two he’s in his rhythm good decision making scopes the situation puts the pass right on the mark [Music] outside Reeves pass to Donic donic is doubled six to shoot for three james Warriors with the rebound a minute and a half left to play in the half green a screen butler passes to Green and it’s hammered home by Green and he gives up some size inside but makes a great adjustment on the finish yeah you can give up some size but that shows you how fearless he is willing to attack the basket no matter who is in front of him hayes the pass to James james a freight train coming used the pick to perfection and got all the way to the rim warriors trail by five butler taking his time here and it’s a defensive 3second violation he’s getting his first free throw attempt of the game here he did a lot of damage at the free throw line in their last game [Applause] and he shows the focus there nails the T [Applause] 50 seconds left in the first half of basketball pass to Heel and stolen by Reeves donic outside from six feet away and it’s off the back of the rim no good warriors trail by four outside heel back to Butler down to five on the shot clock outside for Green this one for three good and Butler gets the assist butler’s got five assists in the game green’s poor stretching ability one of the things that makes this offense so dynamic and finished off by Hayes beautiful setup on the alley great catch great flush and a pretty tightly contested game here as we end the first half it’s Los Angeles up by three all right now let’s check in with Alli Leforce ally what do you have here with coach Steve Kerr your defense struggling to contain them in the first half how do you remedy it we got to get back in transition we got to make them feel us you know they’re just running anything they want we’ve got to at least disrupt the stuff they’re trying to do thank you coach thanks Ally after the break we’ll see you right back here to begin quarter number three heat heat heat heat [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] we’ve got second half action for you and if the next couple of quarters are similar to the first this one could go down to the last possession boy really an incredible game here from Luca Donic yeah they’ve done an amazing job of creating room to operate for him and then of course executing i like how they came into this one with the game plan and they’re just going out and executing it terrific job [Applause] the Lakers lead by three kicking off the second half here steve Curr’s five curry and Pods make up the back court jimmy Butler out there with Green and it’s Moody in at the three luca get off me oh my tight defense but Donic just muscles it in warriors trail by five butler passes to Green [Applause] over Hayes shots blocked and they’re able to recover green against Hayes just five on the clock and that one good curry’s got 19 points on a night like tonight steph Curry is mustwatch basketball he can score from anywhere james deciding where to go with it pass to Aimura lets the three fly james can’t get it to go golden State has got seven of their 16 three-point attempts to go in green with a screen on Reeves to the inside draymond oh such a force inside look at how effectively Green uses his body disrupting the defense with the screen and making some room for himself pass to Hayes and here’s James he’s got 19 for three james from distance easy work when you’re guarding LeBron you have to give him something so the King well he’ll take a three-point basket outside Butler and we’re just about 2 minutes into the second half now curry from deep three-point land tried to answer back but that three is off the mark los Angeles leading by four aimura outside [Music] reeves back to Aimura james outside and Los Angeles another three i like how fast makes decisions reading the defense ahead of time rising and shooting with confidence richard it’s nice to have the versatility of a guy like Hachimura equally comfortable at either forward position oh he’s got the size and strength of a modernday NBA power for but he also has the ability to stretch the floor and knock down a three that’s a nice combo yeah he’s in his bag from beyond the ark right now you see his confidence and of course it helps space the floor which gives this offense more room to operate and now we’re 3 minutes into this third quarter of play and again it’s the Warriors missing and you just can’t afford to give up that kind of look very often pass to James now Donic [Music] [Applause] and so he draws the foul headed to the line to shoot a pair and you can’t let Donic get this type of positioning because then you’re pretty much forced to foul him he made the only free throw attempt he had earlier in the game luca Donic [Applause] [Applause] first free throw is good [Applause] donic hits them both here’s Curry he’s got 19 and Steve Cerr calls timeout he’s going to gather the troops and talk it over you know one guy who’s been getting it done is Luca Donuch he’ll just keep hurting them from the three-point land if they let him here’s a chance for coach to change that get ready everyone please see yourself on the screen and you show us your best let’s go [Applause] you have a camera the next [Music] [Music] Give them a big round of applause [Applause] butler goes at the rim majimski and a great assist by Butler as that one goes butler’s got six assists now in the game the allaround game of Butler he’s all about sharing the rock and getting his guys involved james outside from deep reeves sinks that one now shooting five of 10 and looking sharp man this is just fun these teams are trading threes back and forth this is today’s NBA hey we see this kind of exchange more often than not [Applause] majimsky with it working on Aimura green with a screen on Reeves here’s Butler on the run butler with the jam you see how effective Butler is driving inside the combination of muscle and athleticism is tough to stop [Applause] [Music] outside Reeves back to Donic donic is double donic you see the straight and their offense tonight is Luca luca and more Luca when he’s on it’s an opponent’s worst nightmare outside Butler here’s Pimsky and the Warriors with another three and what kind of defense was that you can’t give up wide open threes like that what are you doing donic passes to Aimura [Applause] now here’s Hayes pass to Donic clock at six luca proving he can score from anywhere and trust me when the D’s slow to react he’ll be the first guy to make them pay yeah they’re going to do a much better job of putting a little bit of pressure on him on his way to the hoop outside Green [Applause] and here’s Butler green a screen the shot by Butler no good [Applause] here’s Aimura and he got the whistle on the way up so he’ll be headed to the line for a pair it’s going to go on Draymond Green man he made sure to get his money’s worth on that foul and a moment here to take a look at the scoring breakdown for the Lakers all game long they’ve been making it rain from the arc and look they’ve done it by feeding the hot hands yeah another thing this offense came in aggressive driving into the lane forcing the defense to try to adjust so far the defense hasn’t had enough of an answer the first free throw is good jackson Davis has checked in for the Warriors payton comes in for Moody so one for two that time at the stripe warriors trail by 12 here’s Pimsky aimura with the defensive effort los Angeles has gotten four threes to fall out of five attempts here in the third pass to James count the basket james has got eight points in the quarter and just totally relentless only increasing the intensity level always plays hard until the final whistle no matter what the situation is outside butler [Applause] back to Curry fires for three and a great assist by Butler as Allen goes curry’s got 22 yeah the sweet looking jumper of Steph it just looks so pure coming out of his hands and there’s James from the ark oh back at you LeBron this man has entered the zone great shooting performance from him all game long double team on Butler here’s Pajki another three for Golden State this is just fun these teams are trading threes back and forth this is today’s NBA hey we see this kind of exchange more often than not and it’s Donic missing warriors trail by 11 it’s Pachimky on the wing he’s covered by Reeves oh Curry just nasty from downtown and his perimeter shooting might be the key to trimming their deficit absolutely and they have to continue to go to him here’s Donic here’s Aimura and that one’s good nice job on the glass as they picked up two on the second effort second chance points are always painful have to make the effort to box out yeah I’m going to go out on a limb here and say they need to emphasize rebounding going forward pass to Jackson Davis right side pajki curry with it up and over donic again golden State nice work from the in between area curry has no problem taking this shot when it’s available aimura outside back to Donic donic is doubled aimura from long range and the rebound goes to the Warriors vajimky’s got his fifth rebound in this one and he’s going for the lob and stolen by Hayes himra with the ball now guarded by Butler and the basket is good james has got 32 points oo he’s earning his keep offensively a key part of their winning effort at this point outside Butler outside curry takes a three rebounded by the Lakers hayes has got rebound number nine now what an effort here tonight donic against Curry hayes with a screen on Curry inside and finished off by Hayes you know the instincts of Luca Donuch are second to none such a natural playmaker warriors trail by 12 [Applause] pass to Jackson Davis up top Curry [Applause] now Butler back to Curry down to five on the shot clock payton with a screen on Donic fires it and down it goes jam that one home oh nothing soft about that was not going to be denied just took the dunk that was right in front of him and that’s his MO physical get in position for the put back and throw it down defense got to know that’s what he’s looking to do hits the three-pointer all eyes on Luca the defense forgot about his teammates outside Butler pass to Pajimsky [Applause] and the shot is good off the backboard pajimski’s got 11 in the second half when guys are moving the ball sharing it it makes the game so much more fun both as a player and as a fan hayes the shot is good donic making the play hayes warriors trail by 13 outside Butler [Applause] a minute 42 left to play in the third curry shot is off and James has got the ball here for the Los Angeles Lakers here’s Reeves oh and a beautiful feed leads to a monster

vanderbilt against Butler heel fires from way outside and the Warriors miss again los Angeles leading by 16 to the left side wing vanderbilt the pass to Donic drains the triple donic has got 35 in the

it go and here at the end of the third it’s a double-digit ball game the Lakers on top up 19 all right we’re going to step aside for just a second but join us right back here for the start of quarter number four next [Applause] and as we head into the fourth we’ll see if there’s a comeback in the works or if it’s more of the same for the first three quarters [Applause] warriors trail by 19 at the forward slots it’s LeBron and Aimura connect is out there with Gabe Vincent and it’s Finny Smith in at the five that’s who’s in the game for the Lakers and they pick up two the fine from Buddy Hill i’d like to see him do that more spread the ball around the Lakers shooting 65% their offense has been on another level here’s James and he was fouled while in the act of shooting so he’ll take two free throws cavon Looney picks one up he has bounced around for a while now but he’s still a deadly shooter richard He is the definition of a shooter for hire he’s a mercenary when he’s on the floor he’s looking to pull up from deep that’s what he’s paid to do he’s been an elite shooter his whole career [Applause] and he knocks down the first one [Applause] [Applause] both free throws good from James warriors trail by 19 outside curry gets rebounded by Los Angeles benson outside kenny Smith a screen three-pointer benson can’t hit and the shooter had very little space on that attempt i’m sure they’ll think twice about shooting against him next time healed with the ball guarded now by Finny Smith basket’s good peyton’s got four points now in the quarter and when defenders are lurking that bounce pass can be the only way to get it through pass to connect james a screen on heel back to James and it’s James with the jam so unpredictable in pick and roll sets james just taking what he sees and lets it open up outside Curry jacks up a three it’s rebounded by Los Angeles james has got rebound number eight now pass to Benson [Applause] back to James shot clock at five uses the glass on the layup james has got 38 points and it’s the level of creativity that separates LeBron it’s second to none cuz he’s such an incredible ball handler also and here’s Curry for three here’s Payton hey in six attempts he’s made five talk about efficiency that’s a blueco collar bucket right there grown man basket put in the work got a second chance to score pass to James [Applause] lays it up and banks it in james has got 40 points he is torching a defense that simply has no answers for him he passes to Payton here’s Looney outside curry knocks down the triple curry’s got 30 points well I guess we could give him credit for not getting discouraged they’re still playing hard he’s doing his job out there aimura sets a screen pass to connect back to Vincent james against Peyton blocked out of bounds as Los Angeles keeps possession and the fans love seeing incredible moments on defense like that block yeah I love that they maintain the defensive energy even when they’re behind hayes checked in for the Lakers pajimski’s checked in for the Warriors a bit under three and a half minutes have passed here in the fourth shot clock at three from deep three-point land pajimsky grabs the board pajimski’s got six rebounds now in the game pass to Curry from downtown and the Warriors with another three a quality pass setting up a quality shot it’s just textbook basketball aimura outside [Applause] here’s connect defended by Pachki here’s James and down it goes two points james has got 42 in the game warriors trail by 17 outside Pajki there’s a screen by Kuminga pass to Curry fires from deep aimura with a rebound for Los Angeles they’ve gone four of seven from the field in the fourth quarter and it’s James with the jam but getting inside positioning is what he wants it’s like once that man gets in there and gets moving oh he’s going to finish that dunk now looney [Applause] back to Curry for three and the three-pointer goes curry’s got nine points in the quarter he can really stroke it from deep you have to keep better tabs on him [Applause] aimura on the post kaminga’s on him oh and he got fouled on his way up he’ll head to the line to shoot two that’s his first no debate there he he got hammered at the line for two [Applause] free throw good aimura Austin Reeves has checked in for the Lakers luca Donuch comes in for Vincent [Applause] and both free throws good for Aimura warriors trail by 18 outside Curry the three it’s Hayes with the rebound hayes has got rebound number 11 outside Reeves pass to Hayes donic outside the three is up looney grabs a miss the Warriors have gone six for 11 here in the fourth quarter and here’s Kamega for three rebound the Lakers aimura’s got rebound number eight here already in the game now here’s Donic he’s defended by Looney pulls it in from the elbow donic no good warriors trail by 18 curry with it aimura covering looney outside kaminga launches it sends it home from three-point land kaminga’s got his first three points of the game and their strategy is obvious manufacturer looks from outside the ark with the way they’re shooting there’s no need to look for any other shot just keep letting it rain hayes the pass to James and a miss there on the triple and so it’s Curry with it he brings it up for Golden State and the basket by Heel you got to expect this from a high volume shooter with range like Heel he loves to let threes fly from everywhere outside Reeves [Applause] donic on the wing just five to shoot looney grabs a miss looney’s got his fourth rebound in this one go heel finds Curry up and over donic curry shot is off los Angeles leading by 12 aimura up top defended by Pajki pass to Reeves from the high post nice shot there making him eight for 13 and it only makes sense to give him the rock again he put the team on his back all game yeah just keep feeding him that guy is a man on a mission and the defense well they don’t have much of an answer outside Curry let’s go with a three and the Warriors with another three nice ball movement there that’s how you break down the defense los Angeles has got nothing to fall from outside the ark here in the fourth 0 for four [Applause] hayes against Looney hayes the pass to Reeves spins and there is a whistle that’ll go on Cavan Looney that’s foul number two for him finny Smith’s checked in for Aimura substitution on the court so it’s Los Angeles now their biggest lead of the game was 21 here’s James outside finny Smith and once again off the mark by Los Angeles warriors trail by 11 pass to Curry oh Butler getting aggressive while he’s a bit undersized for a four he more than makes up for it with his bounce well the Lakers shooting right around 40% since the beginning of the fourth quarter and we’ve got a timeout called by JJ Reic rallying his guys to make sure they all know the plan is your high squad get loud and let them hear it all right fans who wants a t-shirt [Applause] heat heat [Applause] now the Acres making a change here aimura’s checked in and from the sideline let’s catch up with Alli i was able to listen in on what JJ Reic was going over with his team he kept it real with his team telling them “I know you feel good about this lead but let’s not get lazy let’s not act like this is a sure thing all of a sudden looking to keep their focus on the task at hand.” Brian appreciate the report valley james finds Hayes donic outside oh wow set him up and let LeBron finish the timing LeBron possesses is second to none fantastic at measuring winter goal for Ali outside pajki off target from outside that’s his shot and one I’m sure he wants back here’s James goes up and lays it in nice and easy james has got 48 you know what he wants he wants to attack attack and then guess what he wants to attack some more this man was born to go to the rim green with a screen on Donic curry with it aimura covering shot clock at six curry from deep three-point land and Reeves pulls it down and Reeves has got the ball here for the Lakers 13-point lead pass to James good that’s another bucket oh my goodness 50 for the game just putting on a show murray passes to Green now here’s Pajki [Applause] outside moody to the paint here’s Butler some solid defense from Hayes the Lakers lead by 15 we’ve got a minute 48 left to play in the fourth puts it up from 12 and the Lakers tack on two more they have a relentless mentality even with the game in total control no let up with these guys they’re going for the throat now [Applause] here’s Curry and that comes off the assist by Green assisted green’s got three assists now in this one that is a perfect placement of that dime just guided it right to him and this one hasn’t been in doubt for a bit now they came out on a mission and you can bag up this win for the Lakers well I have to comment on their strong performance tonight at the charity strike and it might have won them the game the ability to draw fouls and capitalize can be a real difference maker and as it was happening as it was building you knew this was a monster game for LeBron James and he was getting buckets all night long giving the defense that work james outside 54 seconds left in the fourth quarter here aimura finds Hayes donic with it he’s covered by Curry a nice shot by Donic donic has got 39 this is what winning is all about playing your best when it matters most and let me tell you as a team you love to hit your stride right at the crucial moments they put this game away in style here’s Green and it’s hammered home by Green selfless play by Butler using the pick and roll to move the defense and get his guy a good look now 8 seconds separating the two clocks donic up top he’s covered by Curry two points that one goes donic has got 41 they got a big lift from their crowd tonight giving them the energy they needed you have to love their effort this game wasn’t handed to them they took it outside PJski [Applause] pajki and so it’s the Lakers easily grabbing this
