There are few things in basketball history as thrilling and memorable as watching Steph Curry and LeBron James battle. And even as their careers mount towards a conclusion, that NBA truism hasn’t changed. Curry and James battled again on Saturday night, with the Golden State Warriors hosting the Los Angeles Lakers in the second match up of the season for the teams.
The matchup lived up to the hype, with the all-time greats each putting on a show in the first half. But it was James, not Curry, who sustained his performance in the second half; and it was the Lakers, not the Warriors, who sustained their performance in the second half, with Los Angeles handling Golden State a 118-109 loss.
