San Francisco: Wow, what a game! The Lakers and Warriors really put on a show for Christmas. It was pretty quiet until the last few minutes, but then it got wild.
Austin Reaves drove past Draymond Green and nailed a layup just as the clock ran out, giving the Lakers a 115-113 win. He had an awesome game with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.
It was a real back-and-forth battle. The Lakers had a nice 7-0 run to pull ahead, but Steph Curry wasn’t having it. He hit two quick threes to tie it up at 113, making it super tense.
Curry ended up with 38 points, showing why he’s a superstar. But Reaves’ clutch moment stole the spotlight. LeBron James also had a solid night, scoring 31 points and making history with over 500 points on Christmas Day.
Unfortunately, Anthony Davis hurt his ankle early on and didn’t come back. The Lakers were 4.5-point underdogs, but they pulled through. It was a Christmas to remember for Lakers fans!
