Lakers GM says there’s a chance Kobe Bryant’s No
Curry’s finger roll on the ensuing possession would kick-start a 22-0 Golden State run over the next five minutes, putting the game out of reach for good.
According to oddsmakers from oddsmakers at RealBets, Golden State is favored on the road tonight, as the Warriors are getting odds of -13.5 points against the Lakers.
The Warriors (33-2) over the past two-plus seasons have won eight of the last 10 meetings against the Lakers – after going 2-18 against them over the previous five seasons.
The Los Angeles Lakers lost by 21 points to the Golden State Warriors and anyone who says that the game was even that close is delusional. If the Lakers can stop the Warriors from making threes, they will likely have a chance to keep the game competitive and hopefully steal one from the defending champs.
Curry stayed in the game after knocking legs with Roy Hibbert in the third quarter, leaving the star guard with obvious frustration on his face.
“It’s just frustrating and annoying and any other adjective you want to throw in there”, Curry said. “Long-term, it’s not something that I’ll have to worry about. It’s just playing through an injury”. Curry sank his second three-pointer of the quarter and third of the game with 9.3 seconds left in the half, but Jordan Clarkson would sink a three-pointer of his own with 1.5 seconds remaining on the clock to send the game into halftime with the Warriors holding a 62-47 advantage.
So when the Los Angeles Lakers came to town, Thomas reached out to Bryant’s camp, hoping to meet up with the probable future NBA Hall of Famer and possibly get a jersey signed, he told The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach. Kobe Bryant sat out the game with a shoulder injury and while he said that he is feeling better, he remains in doubt for tonight’s game against the Suns.

Chicago notched a season-best fifth straight win by downing Milwaukee 117-105, led by 32 points and a season-high 10 assists from Jimmy Butler. To make matters worse for the Lakers’ offense, they may be without Kobe Bryant (shoulder) and D’Angelo Russell (throat) for this game.
Have Fun: The Lakers look like they are having a lot of fun over the course of their three-game winning streak.
Thompson was a first-time All-Star last season and could very well be back again this season despite Bryant dominating the sentimental vote in what he has said will be his final season before retiring. They also limited Phoenix to the lowest scoring output by an opponent this season.
He was 9 for 14 from the field, including 4 for 7 from 3-point range.
“It’s been a combination of a few things”, Lakers coach Byron Scott said of the streak. Draymond Green, who had notched three straight triple-doubles before visiting the Lakers, ended the night with nine points, 12 rebounds and five assists. Los Angeles visits the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, while Golden State plays the Trail Blazers at Portland on Friday.
