The Warriors opened up the final 24-game stretch of their regular season Thursday night with a dud.
After a weeklong layoff for the All-Star break, the Warriors spent the last two days of practice in the City of Angels talking about being rejuvenated for the final sprint to the finish line. But Golden State was plagued by shoddy shooting and poor defense, which led to the Los Angeles Lakers running away with the game to win 124-111.
But the Warriors couldn’t step up to the challenge Thursday night nor could they get out of their way. But Golden State couldn’t carry that momentum into the second half. The Lakers thumped the Warriors 36-24 in the third quarter. Golden State waved the white flag early in the fourth, subbing out Kevon Looney and Jordan Poole for Moses Moody and Patrick Baldwin Jr. Jonathan Kuminga was the lone starter to see the court the rest of the game.
