EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Before LeBron James walked off the practice court to speak to reporters Monday, he tracked down a loose ball near the half-court line and flung it over his right shoulder back towards the basket where he had just been shooting with Anthony Davis.

The ball swished clean through the net.

"Not bad," James said.

And not a bad approximation of the type of shot making the Los Angeles Lakers can expect to see out of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors when their second-round series opens up with Game 1 on Tuesday in San Francisco.
