In their first chance to close out the Golden State Warriors, the Lakers fell well short in Game 5, losing on the road, 121-106 on Wednesday night.
Individually, LeBron James had an efficient offensive game scoring 25 points and knocking down three of his seven 3-point attempts.
Anthony Davis was productive as well with 23 points and nine rebounds before leaving the game early due to a head injury in the fourth.
Despite their stars’ outputs, the Lakers couldn’t get past a gritty game from Draymond Green, who ended the night with 20 points on 7-11 shooting.
