Warriors Go Cold in Loss To Lakers

Even a team that dominates the way the Golden State Warriors have this season is bound to stumble every now and then.

 

They tossed out a clunker against the Los Angeles Lakers, losing 112-95 on Sunday while shooting a season-worst 13 percent from 3-point range.

The young Lakers, led by Jordan Clarkson with 25 points and rookie D'Angelo Russell with 21, handed the defending NBA champions just their sixth loss of the season, all on the road.

 

Kobe Bryant added 12 points in one of the biggest upsets in NBA history and the Lakers' most important victory in a downtrodden farewell season for Bryant, who spent the fourth quarter on the bench resting his aching right shoulder and mentoring his teammates.

 

Stephen Curry scored 18 points on a day the Warriors were awful offensively. Klay Thompson added 15 points, but the Splash Brothers were a combined 1 of 18 from 3-point range. In all, the league's best long-range shooting team missed 26 of 30 attempts, a season low for makes for a team that averages nearly 13.

 

Golden State fell to 55-6 and the Lakers improved to 13-51.
