“LA Lakers Defeat Golden State Warriors 117-112 in Western Conference Semifinal Game 1 of NBA Playoffs: Recap”

With a very good performance by Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors 117-112 on Tuesday and went ahead 1-0 in their Western Conference semifinal of the NBA.

Davis led the Los Angeles attack with 30 points and 23 rebounds, while LeBron did it with 22 cards and 10 sacks.

The second match of this best-of-seven series will be on Thursday at the same venue in San Francisco.

For the Warriors, the man with the aim was Stephen Curry with 27 points, followed by Klay Thompson with 25 cards. Between both players they achieved 12 triples, six each.

The LA Lakers and the Warriors are two highly successful franchises that have combined to win seven of the last eight Western Conference championships and five of the last eight NBA titles.

The Warriors reach this cap after clinching their spot with a 120-100 road win over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. In that contest, Curry set an NBA record for a Game 7 playoff game with 50 points.

The Lakers and Warriors may be odds in the postseason, but LeBron and Curry surely aren’t. They have met 22 times in the playoffs, over the course of four straight meetings between the Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals between 2015 and 2018.

Curry won championship rings three of the four times, all while losing the personal scoring matchup to LeBron, who scored 33 points per game in those matchups to Curry’s 25.4.

The winner of this cap will face the winner of the semifinal cap between the first-seeded Denver Nuggets and the fourth-seeded Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference final.
