LeBron James and Stephen Curry delivered excellent performances in the heroic conference on the morning of January 28

Draymond Green had a rough foul in Anthony Davis’s face but escaped punishment, only being given a normal foul. Davis then threw in 1 of 2 FTs to put the Lakers up 2 points.
15 seconds is the remaining time on the clock, just enough for Stephen Curry to shine for the first time with a basket to send the game into overtime. He seemed to “dance” with Anthony Davis before tricking the big man Lakers, scoring 2 points near the basket. OT1 ended with the same scenario as the fourth quarter, this time the Los Angeles Lakers took a 3-point lead with 10 seconds left on the clock. The Warriors had the ball and Klay Thompson lit up with a 3-pointer to equalize the score.

This time the Los Angeles Lakers continued to lead, holding a 2-point advantage with 7.3 seconds left in the match. Golden State’s goal is of course to get the ball to Stephen Curry.
They were able to do that but needed a rather “hоt” block from Draymond Green. In a completely empty position, Curry coldly threw a 3-pointer to put the Warriors up 1 point.
Unfortunately for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, this shot was not considered a game-winner because immediately afterward, LeBron James ended the game on the free throw line.
Coach Darvin Ham drew a run for James to receive the ball outside the 3-point range. From here, the West All-Star captain broke through to the basket, was fouled and Һit both free throws. These were the last two points scored in the match, sealing a 145-144 victory for the Los Angeles Lakers.
