The Golden State Warriors are hosting the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday looking to continue their resurgent run, having won their last two games. The Lakers opened the season 3-0 and arrive at the Chase Center at 4-1, with their only loss thus far coming against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Golden State trailed 90-80 with 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, and both teams have produced plenty of memorable moments. Stephen Curry, who had 22 points and five assists, produced a characteristic step-back three over Luka Doncic with more than six minutes remaining in the third quarter, leading to immediate cheers from the crowd and the commentator, per a post on X by ClutchPoints.

Curry’s handles were too much to handle for Doncic, who dropped to the floor as he calmly banked in his attempt. The Warriors superstar celebrated with his hands over his head before rushing back on defense. The Warriors opened the fourth quarter with a 5-0 run to increase their lead to 10 points, but Doncic kept up the heroics for the Lakers.
