The Los Angeles Lakers have hit a snag in recent weeks. Leading into their big matchup with the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, the Lakers had lost three of their last four games and four of the previous six.
That date against the Warriors was certainly circled on their calendars and they brought it that night. The Lakers defeated the reigning champs in impressive fashion, 127-101. What made it even more impressive was that it was done without LeBron James for a majority of the second half.
James suffered a groin injury in the third quarter of the game.
