The Los Angeles Lakers made sure there would be no second half meltdown this time around as they blew out the Golden State Warriors, 117-91.
Like their last matchup, Dennis Schroder was effective early as he found Marc Gasol for an and-1 and later got himself free at the rim for a layup. The Warriors later lost track of Gasol and he made them pay with two 3-pointers at the top of the arc to give the Lakers an 18-5 lead.
Golden State went on a 7-0 run triggered by a Stephen Curry four-point play, but Kyle Kuzma knocked down his first three of the night and came up with a steal immediately after.
