Two days post trade deadline, the Lakers (26-31) roster remained the same as the team traveled north to take on the second-best team in the league. The Warriors depth and the likes of Klay Thompson was the miniscule difference in the result, as the Purple and Gold fell, 117-115.
All night long, the Lake Show remained in the contest and overcame a second-quarter deficit of 15 points. A combined 68 points in the middle frames put the Lakers down just one as they entered the fourth.
A 7-0 run to open the final quarter gave L.A. its first lead since the first quarter forcing Golden State to take a timeout.
