It’s hard being a competitor. Learning how to keep it separate. Like when Kobe created the “Black Mamba”. Going to be one hell of a story. #ChopWoodCarryWater – 2:19 AM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Klay Thompson scored 30 points tonight for the first time since March 2019, as the Warriors beat the Lakers.
“After not feeling that feeling for a few years, don’t take a 30-ball lightly in this league.” espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 2:11 AM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Klay Thompson scores 33, continuing to regain his past form. Warriors beat the Lakers, but still aren’t playing well.

The Warriors play in LA on Monday. They fly there tomorrow. That’ll allow Steph Curry to go to the Super Bowl. He’s picking the Bengals.

Jonathan Kuminga: “I was excited to play against the Lakers. Growing up I used to watch them because of Kobe (Bryant). Everyone watched LeBron (James) growing up. Going in there and playing against him was super cool. I did okay.” – 12:25 AM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
“He does things that can not be taught,” Klay Thompson said about Kuminga – 12:24 AM Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Anthony Davis said the trade deadline took weight off of everyone’s shoulders: “This is what we have, let’s go.”
At Friday’s practice, Davis said they realized this is their team, and they had a little more swagger in today’s game than they’ve had a while. – 12:20 AM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears

LeBron on why the effort was better: “That’s as connected as we’ve been in quite a while.”
He added that he thought the trade deadline’s passing had to do with that, and the hope is that will sustain moving forward this season. – 12:12 AM Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
LeBron: “I’m very honored and humbled” on being one of the 75 best players ever. – 12:10 AM Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
LeBron on THT and Reaves: “They were great. On both sides of the floor. … They were great tonight and we needed every bit of it.” – 12:09 AM Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
LeBron on passing Kareem: “Throughout my career, whenever I’ve been linked with some of the greats I’ve been in awe.” – 12:08 AM Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
LeBron: “I didn’t make enough plays down the stretch to help our ball club win.” – 12:07 AM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
“The result was different than what we’d like, but that was as connected as we’ve been in quite a while,” LeBron James said. James said the Lakers also probably played better because the trade deadline is over. – 12:07 AM Kyle Goon @kylegoon
LeBron said of the Lakers tonight: “I felt like that’s as connected as we’ve been in quite a while.”

Kerr on Kuminga: “His rise this last month was been brilliant.” Kerr said he wants to get JK experience now because he’s have tough assignments in the playoffs. Feels like the first time Kerr indicated JK will be a part of the playoff rotation. – 11:49 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Great win for Clippers in Dallas 99-97. Reggie Jackson made the big shots. Clips did a good job on Doncic and he still scored 40+. Home to Golden State on Monday. – 11:44 PM Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Kerr said the Warriors needed that 16-point 4Q from Klay because the offense had gone stagnant. Kerr added Klay’s impact goes beyond making shots, it’s the electricity he brings to the floor. – 11:39 PM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
While they didn’t play perfectly by any stretch, the Lakers played well as a team, and that’s the best setting for Austin Reaves to stand out like tonight. He’s ultimately a connective player, but if there’s nothing to connect, his impact can lessen. AK – 11:35 PM Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
Frank Vogel on Austin Reaves: “He’s a solid all-around player. He was very impressive down the stretch. … Obviously, he’s got a lot of guts to make big shots. … He had a hell of a night.” – 11:34 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Vogel: “A couple of plays go our way and we’re talking about a big win.”
Missed FT’s, several missed layups, deflections that went to GSW … it’s been that kind of season for LAL. – 11:33 PM Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Frank Vogel notes that it’s been five games in a row that the Lakers have shot under 70 percent from the line. He says they’ve been working on it, but the team needs to continue to “lock in” on getting better there. They were 22 for 33 tonight. – 11:33 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
The Lakers have now missed 354 free throws this season, trailing only the Rockets (393) for the most in the NBA. @ESPNStatsInfo – 11:33 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba

Vogel cited two killer plays late, where a deflection from Bradley went straight into the hands of Klay for a 3 (LAL were up 6), and a Poole airball came off so hard that AD couldn’t corrall it.
“It’s disappointing we don’t get this W because there were a lot of positive signs.” – 11:31 PM Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
Frank Vogel on LeBron passing Kareem: “To me he’s the greatest player ever to play. … I still believe he’s going to lead us to great things this year.” – 11:31 PM Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Frank Vogel on Russell Westbrook: He was really locked into what we were trying to do defensively, really communicating with guys.
Adds that Westbrook was efficient on offense and didn’t turn it over much. – 11:31 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
33 on ‘em, extra sauce.

It’s Thompson’s first 30-point game since Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals.

This was Warriors guard Klay Thompson’s first regular-season 30-point game since March 13, 2019 at Houston. He had 16 points in the 4th quarter, his most in the quarter since 2018. Along with a game high 33, he also held the Lakers to 1-6 as the primary defender. @ESPNStatsInfo pic.twitter.com/3jAugoT49z – 11:23 PM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob

Lakers had a sequence late down one where AD missed a FT… Russ missed the putback, AD missed putback, AND Bron missed third putback?
And they never led again?
Then Bron missed first of 3 FTs down 3 to end it? – 11:17 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe

LeBron has never been a god clutch free throw shooter.
It might be the only consistent flaw in his game from beginning to end. – 11:14 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Final: GSW 117, LAL 115.
LeBron had a chance to tie the game with 3 FT’s with 2 seconds left, but missed the first.
His shot wouldn’t fall from inside or out in the 4th Q, as he went 1 for 10, and 9 of 27 for the game.
He finished with 26 points, 15 boards and 8 assists. – 11:13 PM Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Final: Warriors 117, Lakers 115
The Lakers fall to 26-31. They’re five games below .500 for the first time this season. LeBron had a chance to tie the game w/ 3 late FTs but missed the first and that was it. He had 26 pts, 14 reb and 8 ast.
Up next: vs. Utah on Wednesday – 11:13 PM Adam Lauridsen @GSWFastBreak
Great subtle late-game minutes from Otto Porter. In the mix for every ball. – 11:13 PM Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Believe in fouling up 3 most times. But as the great Jim O’Connell used to say in arguing against it, you complain the refs suck for an entire game and then you trust them to get it right at the end?
Warriors lucky because they didn’t right there in San Francisco. – 11:13 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Klay Thompson’s fourth quarter: 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting. Scored 33 in 30 minutes. Won the Warriors this game. They’re 42-15. – 11:13 PM Bob Garcia @bgarciaivsports
For whatever reason LeBron simply isn’t a great FT shooter. – 11:13 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Warriors have now screwed up this exact late game situation up the past two times. Didn’t foul up three and gave up a Pacers game-tying 3. Tried to foul up three tonight, but Curry’s foul was too late, three LeBron free throws. Missed two, though. Warriors survive. – 11:12 PM Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Oof. LeBron and those free throws. – 11:11 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
What a terrible call. Curry fouled him way before he was shooting. – 11:11 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
The Lakers have missed a million shots at the rim. And the Warriors “center” during crunch time has been Otto Porter Jr. – 11:09 PM TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Russ missed LeBron open on the cut and then dropped him a grenade with multiple defenders all around him. The bad spacing doesn’t help, but missing the pass is what doomed that possession. – 11:09 PM Bob Garcia @bgarciaivsports
Lakers had their chances. Missed their chances at the rim. – 11:09 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

This is Klay Thompson’s 14th game. 33 points in 29 minutes. Still a bit irregular but he looks mostly back.
Think of this timeline when it comes to Murray and MPJ. – 11:08 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Missed layups have killed the Lakers all game. – 11:08 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Two nights ago, Klay missed the possible game-tying shot to send the game to OT. He was visibly upset.
Tonight, he has a season-high 33 points in a season-high tying 29 minutes, and is what’s keeping the Warriors afloat down the stretch. – 11:07 PM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers

I’m honestly surprised we haven’t seen this urgency from the Lakers earlier. Perhaps the trade deadline really did weigh that much, and perhaps there really has been a reset of sorts, but they needed that Portland win as much as they need this one. – 10:41 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe

A 1/2 Ball Don’t lie as Klay splits the FT’s. LAL trail 95-92. – 10:32 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors win the challenge. Thompson is going to the free throw line. So they go from potentially trailing to start the fourth (if the Lakers hit another 3) to Thompson getting 2 FTs and THT picking up his fourth. That’s a great challenge – 10:32 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Final: Nets fall to the Heat 115-111. The losing streak is 11. Brooklyn played well enough to battle back, but had a few issues down the stretch.

More FT’s coming for GSW, as refs overturn a call on the floor after a challenge. – 10:32 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Curry is at 27 minutes with the fourth quarter to play. He’s +10 in a two-point game, so taking him off the floor is going to be tough in the fourth. But we know Kerr likes to keep him around 36. Will he stretch to 39 if need be? Will Steph win tonight? – 10:31 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
These are the type of offensive rebounds the Warriors weren’t giving up the season’s first couple months but have been a problem lately. Wiggins just lets Monk sneak by him on the baseline, leads to a THT 3. pic.twitter.com/XhgLZw7y6W – 10:31 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe

I’ve had a lot of people say on here that even if the Lakers would’ve traded for Lowry, he would’ve left for Miami anyway.
I seriously doubt that. The Lakers would’ve had full Bird Rights. Lowry was trying to get paid. The Lakers wouldn’t have cooperated on a sign-and-trade. – 5:14 PM Nick DePaula @NickDePaula

I was against Dennis possibly returning to the Lakers at first. I’m starting to warm up to it.
He was good enough at one point to actually get offered the $84 million last year, after all, and if he takes minutes from Russ or Bradley, that’s a win. – 3:52 PM Steve Popper @StevePopper
Barrett was in a boot after the Golden State game, but heading for treatment today had no boot, moving slowly. Thibodeau said boot was to ease swelling – day to day still. – 3:52 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
