After Golden State’s 112-95 upset loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, reporters asked Curry if he thought he could top Kobe Bryant’s legendary 81-point game.

Will Stephen Curry play in the fourth quarter of today’s Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers game on ABC Sports TV and Watch ESPN3 live streaming? “But it’s in the fact that we executed the game plan very well. Metta (too) – they were doing a great job of coaching us on the sideline, telling us to push it when you got it, (saying) ‘Don’t wait.’ It worked”.
In all, the NBA’s best three-point shooting squad missed 26 of 30 attempts, a season low for a team that averages almost 13.
The inefficient Lakers offense (29th in the National Basketball Association with an offensive efficiency of 99.6) will square off against the stingy Warriors defense (fourth in the league with a defensive efficiency of 100.8). In the third quarter both teams managed to produce 24 points each to keep the same margin 84-73 going in to the final quarter of the match.
Curry scored the game’s first basket with a 3-pointer and couldn’t connect from long range after that.
Golden State played without forward Andre Iguodala, who had a tight left hamstring.
The Lakers as a team shot 47 percent from the field, including 37 percent from three and 95 percent from the free throw line.
Bryant won three consecutive championships from 2000-02, and helped the Lakers go back-to-back again in 2009 and 2010, so it’s probably not a bad idea for Green to take his words to heart. “I’ve been saying all year until we get down to the last 10 games, it’s not even worth our thought because so much can happen – injuries, a couple of bad games, whatever.”…
The Warriors committed 11 turnovers in the first half, leading to 16 Lakers points and some uncontested layups among them. The move provides an already risky team with a proven role player that can come in and provide immediate scoring and may be the piece the Spurs need to dethrone these impressive Warriors in a seven game series.
Durant, who just missed a triple double, finished with 12 rebounds and eight assists. 200 after 60 games. 917 and the Lakers were.190.
Atlanta’s trip began on Tuesday with a 109-105 loss to the Golden State Warriors. “So we’re going to run into a buzz saw tonight”. We weren’t locked in at all.
The Lakers wore Bryant-themed socks in purple, gold, white and black with No. 2 on the right sock and No. 4 on the left.
“The power of the socks”, a smiling Bryant said afterward.

There are three styles of Bryant-themed socks, all told, but only one of them will be worn on the court; the other two are complimentary fan pieces.
