01/21: LAKERS vs. Warriors 2nd Half Open Thread


This is the 2nd half open thread of the Lakers-Warriors matchup as the NBA remembers MLK. As usual, leave a comment below and share your thoughts on the game.

Q4

GSW 130 LAL 111

Trim the 30-point deficit to just a 19-point deficit, fair enough. Garbage time always helps to minimize the damage a bit and make the scoreboard look good. Stay tuned for the full recap.

Q3

GSW 110 LAL 80

A merciful end to the quarter. I tell you when Klay Thompson is in a zone, he's in a zone. The guy went 9-9 from beyond the arc this quarter and the Lakers couldn't do anything, despite playing tough defense to deny Klay the ball. His shooting stroke is otherworldly tonight. This quarter was the worst case scenario for the shorthanded Lakers. Yet at the same time, it was expected considering the disparity of talent from both teams tonight. It also doesn't help that the Lakers were asinine on their shots. Too many bricks, which is why they trail by this much.
