Lakers-Warriors Christmas classic excites social media

The Los Angeles Lakers will surely have a Merry Christmas.

They defeated the Golden State Warriors 115-113 on Wednesday behind a game-winning layup from Austin Reaves, capping a memorable holiday game.

Los Angeles held a nine-point lead with 1:30 left in regulation. But, Golden State rallied back, tying the game with 7 seconds remaining after a 3-pointer from Stephen Curry -- the second of back-to-back treys in the final minute. Reaves answered back on the ensuing possession. Curry's heave with one second remaining hit the backboard, clinching a wild Lakers victory.
