Lakers survive 2OT thriller vs. Warriors despite Stephen Curry's 46 points, would-be game-winner

Despite 46 points from Stephen Curry, the Lakers survived a double-overtime thrilled against the Golden State Warriors, winning 145-144 on Saturday in one of the most entertaining games of the NBA season.

The win required the Lakers to take a would-be game-winning shot from Curry, plus a different kind of shot from Draymond Green. The latter came at the end of regulation, when Green got perhaps a little too aggressive while defending Anthony Davis in transition.

The strike was ruled a take foul, allowing Green to avoid a flagrant foul.
