Game two of the series between defending champions Golden State Warriors and record champions Los Angeles Lakers is not nearly as exciting as the start. Curry and his team are too dominant for that.
Defending champions Golden State Warriors took revenge in the playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers with a clear win for the opening defeat.
At 127:100, Klay Thompson was the best basketball player for the Warriors with 30 points, Steph Curry had a strong 12 assists and 20 points.
The Lakers around the stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis as well as national team captain Dennis Schröder did not have the same offensive aggressiveness as at the start and are now going into the upcoming two home games in Los Angeles with a score of 1: 1 in the best-of-seven series .
Thompson gets “the crowd going wild”
“I was just trying to get the crowd going wild,” said the strong Thompson. “It’s always fun when you throw well, and it’s even better when you combine it with a win.” Warriors coach Steve Kerr praised it: “Klay started the game and our defense boosted our offense.” The Lakers could only recognize the superiority of Thompson and Co., which LeBron James did. “They adapted. We knew they would because that’s what makes a winning team,” said James. “They played their game at home tonight.”
The Warriors once again dominated the game from long range with 21 three-pointers converted. The Lakers, on the other hand, didn’t have nearly as many free throws as they had at the start and only had 10 points after fouls. The Warriors’ lead grew steadily throughout the second half, with the hosts leading by 30 points early in the fourth quarter. The Lakers and Schröder’s starting players were not used at all in the last twelve minutes. The 29-year-old from Braunschweig ended the game with four points and three rebounds. James was the top Lakers pitcher with 23 points.
“You could see they came out ready to win a game,” said Lakers coach Darvin Ham, “and not come back to us 2-0 down.” Game three will take place again in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
