Stephen Curry:
“If playoffs started tomorrow, we would be in some trouble…We’ll end up winning games and feeling good about ourselves but it’s not gonna happen on its own. You got to do something about it. We have 18 games to do that.” – 12:17 AM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Russell Westbrook on his game tonight that included 20 points on 9-of-17 shooting, four assists, five fouls and five turnovers: “Just trying to find ways to be active. That’s about it.” – 12:10 AM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Stephen Curry on Klay Thompson:
“There’s a fine balance to who he is as a basketball player, who he is as a shooter and a scorer that he has to figure out. We got to support him, and try to put him in a position to be successful, and stick with him.” – 12:06 AM Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA

LeBron: “I feel like my game would fit any era of NBA history.”
Added that he’s always had a growth mindset, and wanted to continue to adapt with the game as it’s evolved. One area for him has been shooting the three, which was critical tonight (6 for 11). – 11:57 PM Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Some cleanup from Mavs win vs Sac.
13th win when trailing by 10+ most in @NBA.

LeBron said his teammates were asking him about scoring 56, and he said he doesn’t give a damn about that tonight, he was just glad they got a win, snapping their 4-game losing streak. – 11:51 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Carmelo Anthony has embraced being a pure scorer (see attached quote from https://t.co/KrBcjKlvxf piece). He put Kevin Durant in that same category.
He said LeBron is different from that, clearly, w/his playmaking. And yet, LeBron ranks 3rd all time, and just scored 56. pic.twitter.com/KeD7obxFId – 11:50 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
LeBron James on the big night in a much-needed win: “Our guys were following me off the floor tonight, they said, ‘How’s it feel to score 56?’

“I’m trying to squeeze as much juice out of this mothaf***in’ orange as I can. And I’m still good. If I was out there on some bullshit, like nasty-looking Bron, I’d have been quit. But I’m still nice as fuck out there!”

Frank Vogel pointed out that the Lakers went 0-5 after the first AD injury earlier this season, before settling in a bit, adjusting to a new style. He’s hoping that tonight’s win (after a 4-game losing streak) can get them going. – 11:34 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Warriors stars Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins won’t be traveling to Denver tomorrow, Steve Kerr says. – 11:34 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS

Warriors aren’t sending “a lot of our players” to Denver for Monday’s game, including Steph, Klay, Andrew Wiggins, Steve Kerr says. – 11:30 PM Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA
LeBron James on the latest episode of The Shop: “When they talk about the best scorers of all-time, they never mention my name. It pisses me off.”
Tonight, the 37-year-old scored 56 points while shooting 61.3% from the field, 54.5% from three and 92.3% from the free-throw line. – 11:28 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Vogel said that in addition to LeBron, whom he couldn’t have praised more highly after his 56-point showcase, he was impressed with how Reaves and Monk played together.
The Lakers analytics staff has pushed the Arkansas boys’ play all season, Vogel said. – 11:26 PM Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
“He has struggled over the last two games. But he will get it back. He wants so badly to do well. He’s pressing but he will get there.”
Steve Kerr on Klay on Thompson. – 11:26 PM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
When asked what he liked from tonight beyond LeBron’s performance, Frank Vogel noted the way Malik Monk and Austin Reaves play together. It’s been noticed as a bench pairing, and something Vogel seems like he wants to maintain moving forward. AK – 11:26 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
The Grizzlies have the Rockets, Pelicans, Knicks, Thunder and Pacers their next five games. They have a chance to create some separation for the #2 seed if the Warriors don’t figure it out quick. – 11:23 PM Jimmy Spencer @JimmySpencer
That’s 56.0 for @LeBron James pic.twitter.com/XGfs2jAzdl – 11:22 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Warriors were originally scheduled to have two days off after tonight’s game in Los Angeles.
But due to COVID postponement, Denver Nuggets couldn’t host Warriors in late December. Now that Warriors at Denver game is Monday night.
And Warriors will host Clippers Tuesday night. – 11:22 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Lakers coach Frank Vogel puts LeBron James’ 56-point game vs Warriors in context of this season pic.twitter.com/0L9jRiX43o – 11:22 PM Adam Lauridsen @GSWFastBreak
The Warriors are playing with the energy of an old team and the judgment of a young one. The worst combination of outcomes from the “rebuild/compete at the same time” strategy. Still time to correct, but bigger than just Draymond’s absence. – 11:21 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Last four games for the Warriors…
LeBron: 56
Doncic: 41
Towns: 39
Doncic: 34

LeBron James’ 56-point-game vs the Warriors is just five points shy of his career-high 61-point performance with Miami against Charlotte on March 3, 2014 – 11:17 PM Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA
LeBron James had 56 points, 10 boards, 3 assists in the Lakers’ win over the Warriors. He shot 19-31 (61.3%) from the field, 6-11 (54.5%) from three and 12-13 (92.3%) from the FT line.
Only one other player age-37 or older had 51+ points in a game: Kobe Bryant in his final game. – 11:16 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Lakers 124 (LeBron 56), Warriors 116 | Final | James erupts with his second 50-plus-point game as a Laker and the 13th of his illustrious career.
He finishes 19 for 31 from the field, 6 for 11 from 3 and 12 for 13 from the line. – 11:15 PM Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
LeBron summed up tonight with one word: “Desperation.” – 11:13 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
LeBron James’ 56 points take down the struggling Warriors. Lakers beat the Warriors 124-116. – 11:13 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS

LBJ was magnificent. Won’t hear a word about his knee injury from a month ago bc they won and he broke 50 pts and played 39 min. Only when he doesn’t play well or loses. And won’t hear the same ppl ever bring up Curry’s knee injury when they blew that 3-1 lead in Finals 🙄 – 11:11 PM Bob Garcia @bgarciaivsports
LeBron James’ 56 points tonight is the second-highest single-game performance for a player age 37 or older, only trailing Kobe Bryant’s 60 points in his final game. pic.twitter.com/tW6DyIGGyc – 11:11 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Warriors fall to the Lakers 124-116 in Los Angeles, extending their season-worst losing streak to four. And because Memphis won earlier, Golden State drops to third place in the Western Conference standing by a 1/2 game. – 11:11 PM Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
It’d be really cool to see Bron and the Lakers make their season-ending run meaningful. It’d be very cool to see them go into a first-round playoff matchup and wonder what’s possible. – 11:09 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
LeBron James 56 points is second-most scored against a Steve Kerr Warriors team ever … Damian Lillard had 61 points against Warriors in January 2020, but Stephen Curry didn’t play in that one – 11:09 PM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
“…and with Rams long snapper Jake Orzech sitting courtside, LeBron dropped 93 points as the Lakers won their 13th straight game…” – 11:09 PM Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa
Lakers get a much needed Win, 124-116 over Warriors…Lebron carries them, just incredible at age 37
-LBJ 56pts 10rebs
-Russ 20pts 4rebs 4ast
-Carmelo 14pts 8rebs
-Monk 12pts 6rebs 5ast

A good night for the Grizzlies just turned into a great night. The Lakers beating the Warriors increases the Grizzlies’ odds of getting the LAL top-10 projected first-round pick, and the Grizzlies are now the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. – 11:08 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Bron game was good and all but this may have been Russell Westbrook’s best game of the season and he deserves a lot of credit for that rally – 11:08 PM Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Warriors FT% in the game less than the FG% in the game – 11:07 PM Alex Caruso @ACFresh21
And Bron had 56 …yeeesh – 11:07 PM Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
LeBron with 56 in 38 minutes. Year 19. Witnessing Greatness. – 11:07 PM Drew Shiller @DrewShiller
I hope the entire world finally realizes that Draymond Green is right on Steph’s level when it comes to value/importance to the Warriors (and he always has been) – 11:07 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Klay Thompson: 3/13 FG, 1/5 3PT – 11:07 PM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
“WHOSE HOUSE??? RAMS HOUSE!!!” – LeBron, postgame, inside Crypto .com Arena. AK – 11:07 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
LeBron scores 56, Golden State loses and the Memphis Grizzlies move up to No. 2 in the Western Conference. – 11:07 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Add another to the Warriors’ losing streak — four in a row and 2-8 over the last 10. Tied with Memphis now in the standings.
The need for Draymond Green has never been higher, but will his return fix everything for the Warriors? Their issues are running deeper than that now. – 11:06 PM Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin

Final: Lakers 124, Warriors 116
The Lakers win their first game after the All-Star break and maintain a one-game lead over New Orleans for the No. 9 seed. LeBron James was incredible, scoring a season-high 56 points.
Up next: at San Antonio on Monday. – 11:06 PM Janis Carr @janiscarr

Warriors lose to the Lakers and the Grizzlies now move up to 2nd in the West.
Suns are 9 games up in the loss column over each team with 19 games to go. – 11:04 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
This disaster stretch worsens for the Warriors. They’re now 2-8 in the last 10 and 0-3 on this road trip. Memphis has now hopped them in the standings. Warriors are the #3 seed and falling. Next four: at Denver, vs Clippers, at Denver, vs Milwaukee. – 11:04 PM Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Does Draymond Green fix everything? We will find out soon(ish). – 11:04 PM Bob Garcia @bgarciaivsports
Lakers needed all of LeBron’s 56 pts to win tonight. – 11:04 PM Dave McMenamin @mcten
Well that was certainly one way to snap a losing streak. LeBron James exploded for 56 points on 19-for-31 shooting (6-of-11 from 3, 12-of-13 FTs) and the Lakers beat James’ old foe, Golden State, 124-116, to end a four-game skid. – 11:04 PM Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet

The late double on LBJ forced the guy they want to take the shot — Westbrook— shoot and miss badly. But being in a scramble makes getting the defensive rebound a lot tougher #LakersWarriors. – 11:02 PM Bob Garcia @bgarciaivsports
Second-chance opportunity and Lakers cash in with a much better look on the Melo 3 – 11:02 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Lol in true LeBron fashion, man has 54 but what does he do? Make the right play for a wide open 3 for Melo. If Melo misses that and the Lakers lose, the TL would’ve killed him for that play. 😂 – 11:02 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Warriors give up an offensive rebound, LeBron finds Melo wide open in the left corner for 3… bang.
Could be the dagger. Warriors down 122-116 with 33.5 left. – 11:02 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors 33.5 seconds from giving up another game and falling to third in the West – 11:01 PM Scott Kushner @ScottDKushner
The only good betting strategy I’ve had in weeks is pounding against Golden State.
This team is terrible and they keep getting favorable lines because of their record. – 11:01 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron is the 7th Laker with at least 54 points in a game: Mikan (1x), Baylor (6x), West (1x), Wilt (2x), Shaq (1x), Kobe (9x).

Austin Reaves grabbed the offensive board for the extra possession, and LeBron drove and kicked it to ‘Melo. – 11:01 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
LeBron James is crazy lol like what the hell, man. He’s in his 19th season. – 11:00 PM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Hey, refs! The Lakers are perfectly capable of crapping away this game in crunch time on their own. They don’t need your help, thanks. AK – 11:00 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL went up 119-112 with a ridiculous alley-oop dunk from LeBron (Monk pass), but then turned it over, unforced, on B2B possessions (Westbrook, then Anthony), with GSW scoring both times to get within 3 points.
Time out LAL, with 1:06 to play. – 10:59 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Klay Thompson 9 of 30 shooting the last two games. – 10:59 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22

The Lakers have 117 points with 3 minutes to go, so there’s a chance the C’s can move into at least a tie for the top spot tonight – 10:56 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Poole back in for Porter – 10:56 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
This Warriors defense is unrecognizable from earlier in the season. Steph turns it over, doesn’t get back, messes up the matchups, nobody communicates to pick up LeBron with the ball, and it falls apart from there into the Monk 3. – 10:56 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Curry thought he was fouled, then compounded it with a frustration 3 – 10:55 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS

These matchups are always special — regular season and playoffs. Tonight is no different. – 10:53 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
The Warriors have continued to score throughout this Lakers hot streak, matching buckets to take a 112-111 lead, before Anthony converted an and-1 (FT coming) to put LAL up 1 with 3:29 to play. – 10:52 PM Wayne Cole @waynec0le

Warriors starting hitting shots, with B2B 3’s from Poole trimming LAL’s once 14-point lead down to 6, before 5 straight points from ‘Melo made it 32-21 with 1 minute in the 1st. – 9:04 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22

Big minutes for Kuminga early.
He’s struggling out there. – 8:59 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron has 13 points already after a put-back layup. Still 4 minutes left in the 1st Q.
LAL’s lead is up to 14 after Monk followed with a 3, his 2nd. – 8:59 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron remains in the game, and made the FT. He appears to be fine. – 8:58 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron finished an and-1 through contact from Jordan Poole, who grabbed LeBron’s right arm.
LeBron asked for a time out, and the training staff’s been using a HyperVolt on his arm throughout the time out.
LAL lead 19-11. – 8:57 PM Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
LeBron James was hurting. Appears to be his right hand or right elbow. – 8:56 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Jordan Poole grabbed LeBron James’ right elbow, and he immediately showed pain. LeBron getting treatment with a massage gun on the bench during the timeout – 8:56 PM Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James appears to have some discomfort in his right elbow. The Lakers have called timeout and James’ is being worked on by his longtime athletic trainer Mike Mancias. – 8:55 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
LeBron is absolutely killing the Warriors in those pick-and-roll actions. – 8:54 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
LeBron James almost tripped getting back on defense with some of the fans sitting courtside stretching out their feet as if they’re in their living room. – 8:54 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Klay lets Westbrook beat him on a back cut. Layup. – 8:53 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Klay can’t buy a bucket. 0-3 from the field so far in 7 minutes. Went 6-17 Thursday in Dallas. – 8:53 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Russ is 3-3 so far — with six points to complement LeBron’s early eight.
Lakers up 17-9. – 8:52 PM Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers

LeBron said he wasn’t happy with his free throw shooting early this season, and put some extra time in.
He shot 74.8% before the break, and so far is at 82.1 after the break, including his first two tonight. – 8:52 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
After Lakers get an open 3-ball on a sequence showing they really came to play, Warriors coach Steve Kerr calls a timeout.
Warriors trail 11-6, 7:35 Q1 – 8:49 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
It’s an energetic start for the Lakers, who take an 11-6 lead into the first time out at the 7:35 mark.
GSW missed a few bunnies at the rim, and are 3 for 9 early, with LAL connecting on 5 of 9 (1 of 4 3’s). – 8:48 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Lakers are 5-9 from the field to start. Warriors can’t keep them out the paint. That Malik Monk 3-pointer before Steve Kerr called timeout was actually Los Angeles’ first make from outside the paint tonight.
Golden State trails 11-6 with 7:35 left in the first quarter. – 8:48 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
One positive development from this Lakers season: Malik Monk has been really good. Starting to flash more playmaking skills too.
Unfortunately for Los Angeles, he’s played himself way out of what they can probably afford to pay him as a free agent. He’s not doing a minimum again. – 8:47 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Warriors playing like the Lakers normally do so far – 8:45 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
After LeBron James came up short on that lob, he started pulling at his left hip area. He’s walking it off, though. – 8:44 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Steve Kerr was asked about Steph Curry approaching GSW’s all-time steals record:
“He’s way better defensively than people give him credit for. He’s smart. He’s tough … I think he’s gotten a lot better since I first got here. Strength. Focus. Putting in all the work.” – 7:11 PM Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee

Steve Kerr says Otto Porter Jr. will start tonight.
Warriors have a few guys out: Draymond Green, Gary Payton II, Andre Iguodala and James Wiseman (who’s yet to play this season). – 7:04 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Gary Payton II is “day-to-day” with the knee issue, per Kerr. Said he took a shot on it in Dallas. Sore, but MRI came back clear. Out tonight. – 7:04 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA

Asked whose defensive development has stood out over the last month or so, Frank Vogel cited Austin Reaves, noting his ability to compete on that end so well as “remarkable.” It wasn’t necessarily something they expected for his career, much less this quickly. AK – 6:54 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
The Warriors have lost 5 of 6 games since their last-second win against the Lakers before the All-Star break.
Frank Vogel said, in short:
It’s tough to replace a guy like Draymond Green, just like it’s tough to replace Anthony Davis. – 6:53 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Avery Bradley and Talen Horton-Tucker are both available tonight.
One thing Frank Vogel said the Lakers are improving upon with Anthony Davis out: “Growing with switch execution … we’re getting better at it.”
He added that they’ll need to be against Steph Curry and GSW. – 6:50 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Pinch-hitting on Lakers for @Kyle Goon tonight. So, if you’re looking for Vogel’s pregame comments I can tell you: “Talen and Avery are in.” – 6:48 PM Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa
