The Golden State Warriors 115-101 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers Saturday night was must see TV. Even without LeBron James and Lonzo Ball participating, this Pacific Division showdown was rife with juicy subplots.
First, the Warriors win appears to have revealed major dissension between Lakers coach Luke Walton and his team. Additionally, it avenged the champs’ pride for that shameful Christmas Day defeat to L.A.
Finally, it was also the final regular season matchup between these two teams in Oracle Arena, as the Warriors will be moving across the Bay to their shiny new digs in San Francisco next season.
