NBA: Thompson and the Warriors ruined LeBron’s historic night by beating the Lakers 117-115
Great game in San Francisco where the Warriors narrowly defeated the Lakers 117-115 and Clay Thompson had a great night. Great night for LeBron James who made history.
With Clay Thompson reminiscent of his good old days, the Warriors overcame the hurdle of the very combative Lakers, beating them 117-115 in San Francisco to move up to 41-15 this season. The night was significant for LeBron James as he became the first goalscorer in league history with a total number of points in regular seasons and playoffs, overtaking the legendary Karim Abdul-Jabbar.
In the match, the match was very tough and contested as both teams tied in score and Clay Thompson was in a terrible situation. He finished the match with 33 points and 5/9 three points, reminiscing about his old self, while Steph Curry was also excellent with 24 points but with the poor 1/8 three points. LeBron James led the Lakers for another night, scoring 26 points and 14 rebounds while Russell Westbrook completed 19.
