The Los Angeles Lakers improved their game on Monday night, besting the Golden State Warriors on the court. According to an article in the San Jose Mercury News, “A Lakers foul set up the Warriors for an inbounds pass with 4.0 seconds left. Ellis tried to burst from the four man stack and clear space for Davis to receive the ball. But Fisher stayed in front of Ellis and was either knocked over by Ellis’ momentum-or slipped and grabbed some of Ellis’ jersey on the way down, depending on your viewpoint.”
Kobe Bryant, the Lakers star player sank the last of his 30 points, with 23 after halftime, with a pair of clinching free throws with 3.3 seconds left in the game. Thus the Warriors’ attempts to take a season series from the Lakers, a feat they haven’t done since 1994-1995. This most recent loss leaves the Golden State Warriors just half a game ahead of Denver in the fight for eighth place in the Western Conference standings.
