Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (center left) is congratulated by forward LeBron James (center right) after making the game-winning basket to defeat the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center. Austin Reaves caps his first triple-double of the season with the game-winning layup as the Lakers weather a late Stephen Curry storm to deny the Warriors a Christmas comeback.
Austin Reaves drove for a go-ahead layup with one second left to cap a triple-double, LeBron James added to his Christmas Day lore with 31 points, and the Los Angeles Lakers overcame an injury to Anthony Davis to outlast the Golden State Warriors, 115-113, in San Francisco on Wednesday, December 25 (Thursday, December 26, Manila time). Despite losing Davis for good to a twisted left ankle in the eighth minute of the game, the Lakers held the upper hand for almost the entire final three quarters, leading to a fourth win in five games. The lead was 109-100 when James assisted Max Christie’s basket with 1:30 remaining before Stephen Curry nearly singlehandedly stole the show. After Jonathan Kuminga’s dunk and Dennis Schroder’s three-pointer got the Warriors closer, Curry sank a layup before burying a pair of improbable three-pointers in the final 12.2 seconds, including a game-tying 31-footer with 7.6 seconds left. The Lakers then tried to inbound to James, but opted for Reaves when the Warriors double-teamed the Los Angeles star. Reaves didn’t hesitate, taking the ball straight to the hoop for a contested layup that produced the game-winning points. The all-time leading scorer in NBA Christmas games, James hit 12 of his 22 shots while also finding time for a game-high-tying 10 assists and 2 steals. Reaves took up the slack for the missing Davis, drilling 4 three-pointers en route to 26 points that complemented a team-high 10 rebounds and 10 assist
