Lakers’ Russell out 2 weeks, has PRP injection in sore knee

Warriors update: Since that loss to the Lakers, the Warriors have won eight in a row, including sweeping a four-game trip against the Eastern Conference.

But truth be told, they brought some of it upon themselves. He completed the 3-point play for the Lakers’ 29-16 lead. Los Angeles Lakers’ Luol Deng, center, is defended by Golden State Warriors’ Kevin Durant (35) and Stephen Curry (30) during the first half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2016, in Oakland, Calif.

“It was a petty incredible shot by him”, head coach Luke Walton said. Be thankful you didn’t have to watch this one over your Thanksgiving feast.

The lopsided loss spoiled Walton’s homecoming. This also marked the first time in the last five years that they have held a winning record through the first 15 games of the season.

Not many have, and never have the Warriors.

The Warriors’ franchise-record 47 assists – on 53 baskets – are the most in the National Basketball Association this season and topped their previous best passing night more than 35 years ago.

“It’s disappointing because we’ll definitely miss that, but more as we continue to try to build something”, Lakers coach Luke Walton said.

The Lakers, trailing by a point with just seconds to play in the fourth quarter, ran a play that looked created to get an open look at the top of the key.

Nick Young hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 5 seconds to play, and the Los Angeles Lakers blew a 14-point lead in the final minutes before rallying for a 111-109 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night.

The Warriors committed too many turnovers, got out rebounded, and just generally out hustled… “He made a very deep, fall-away three, so give him credit for putting the ball in the basket”. “It was going in tonight”. The ball went into the hoop to give the Lakers a 111-109 lead with 5.1 seconds left. “But expect a big test Friday”.

It was so bad at the end of the first half the Warriors were shooting 55 percent on 3-pointers and 55 percent on free throws-on the exact same amount of attempts.

Curry had seven of the 19 threes. Anthony Davis produced 45 points and 10 rebounds to led New Orleans to victory, while Karl-Anthony Towns could manage only nine points and 11 boards.

So 47 assists, the number reached Wednesday night by the Warriors in a 149-106 demolition of the shorthanded Lakers, is practically a double lottery win. Lou Williams converted a four-point play in the first quarter and finished with 13 points. “When the training staff and doctors let us know he’s good to go he’ll be back in there.”. “So they’re probably the ones that are a little nervous right now as we get ready to fly up to Oakland”. In between games, Russell appeared tentative on Sunday against Chicago, scoring eight points on 3-of-11 shooting, mostly from 3-point range (2 for 9).

“I think it will be great for us”, center Dwight Howard said. “But he kind of settled into the game after that”. Calderon also started the two previous games Russell missed.

The Los Angeles Lakers will be without PG and leading scorer, D’Angelo Russell for up to two weeks. He’s expected to miss two weeks. The Warriors will be the more rested team, which should prove beneficial. At the start of play Wednesday, 14 teams had yet to have one 30-assist game this season.
