Even though Stephen Curry scored 46 points and had a chance to win the game in overtime, the Lakers won in a thrilling game.

However, the Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 145–144 on Saturday in one of the most exciting games of the NBA season, even though Stephen Curry scored 46 points.

For the Lakers to win, they had to block a shot from Stephen Curry that would have won the game and a different shot to Draymond Green.

This happened at the end of regulation when Green might have been a little too rough with Anthony Davis while he was in transition.

The strike was called a take foul, which kept Green from getting a flagrant foul. With 15 seconds left, the Lakers were already ahead by one point, putting the Warriors in a very bad position.

Davis made both of his free throws to put his team ahead by two points with 15 seconds left. That gave Curry just enough time to shrug off Davis as he ran through the paint and scored a layup that tied the game.

At the end of the first overtime, both teams were in a similar spot. The Lakers were ahead by three points with less than ten seconds left, however the other two Warriors in the famous “big three” made a play that tied the game.

With 7.3 seconds left and two points down, it was clear that the Warriors would get the ball to Curry.

When Jarred Vanderbilt stepped in to guard the former MVP, Green set a hard screen that let Curry get open and gave him one of the easiest shots of the night. Vanderbilt asked for a foul from the floor, but the refs didn’t hear them.

At the end of double overtime on Saturday night, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 145–144. LeBron James made two crucial free throws with 1.2 seconds left to seal the win.

Anthony Davis added 28 points and eleven boards for the Lakers, who improved to 35-12 and grew their lead atop the Western Conference. LeBron James had a triple-double with 36 points, 20 rebounds, and 12 assists.

Stephen Curry scored 46 points for the Warriors, who fell to 25-23 and stayed in eighth place. Curry made 17 of 35 shots, including 9 of 21 from beyond the arc. Curry added eight assists as well as seven rebounds, but his shot from half-court that could have won the game was off.

Nineteen times, the lead changed hands, and 16 times, the score stayed tied. Both teams enjoyed chances to win in overtime and the first overtime. Neither team was ahead by more than nine points.

As the fourth quarter came to a close, Davis made two free throws that put the Lakers ahead 118–116. As time ran out, Curry drove past Davis and scored a layup that tied the game at 118-118.

James had the last chance to beat the Lakers, but Draymond Green blocked his jump shot. Green had already fouled Davis in a fast break.

James had the last chance for the Lakers again, but Green blocked his drive, and the ball rolled out of bounds.

The first overtime was just as exciting. With 10 seconds left, James made a three-pointer that gave the Lakers a 130-127 lead.

After that, Klay Thompson, who scored 25 points for the Warriors, made his 3-pointer to tie the game at 130-130 in six seconds left.

With 1:09 left in the second overtime, Davis made a jump shot that gave the Lakers a 143–139 lead.

That’s when Curry scored five straight points, one of which was a 3-pointer that put the Warriors lead 144-143 with 4.7 seconds left.

The Lakers took a break and passed the ball back to James. As Green drove to the basket, James was fouled. James made both of his free throws with ease, giving the Lakers the lead.

The Warriors ran out of timeouts, so they had to bring the ball in from the other baseline. Curry grabbed the ball close to midcourt and tried to make a last-ditch shot, but it missed the mark by a long shot.

The game could have been a preview for the playoffs since the Lakers as well as the Warriors could play each other in the initial round if the Warriors get the eighth seed.

Each of their four regular-season games against each other was decided by a score of less than ten points.

The Warriors were ahead by one point when Stephen Curry made his ninth 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left, but LeBron James’ free throws won the game for the Lakers, 145–144, in double overtime at Chase Center on Saturday.

Curry scored 46 points and made nine 3-pointers, which were both season highs. James led the Lakers in 36 points, 20 rebounds, and 12 assists, becoming the initial Laker since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1976 to have at least 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists.
