the warriors gotta have the most close and heartbreaking losses in the league this season.
both fanbases should be proud of their teams effort in this game, neither team deserved to lose.

Steph Curry becomes the first player in NBA history to receive multiple of Mike Breen’s coveted “double bang” calls.

Nice start to this playoffs rematch series going down to the wire. Always fun to see them play. Both teams look mid now, but they did at this point last season as well before making playoff runs. Can’t ever count them out.
Even if they’re moving towards the tail end of their careers, the Lebron-GSW matchups are always exciting.

I was 100% certain LeBron was going to brick one of those free throws lmfao.
So many clutch plays tonight. Going to miss these matchups when these guys retire.

As good as Kings vs Dubs rivalry has been off late, it’s always Bron vs Dynasty Dubs that reigns supreme.

An all-timer. LeBron and Steph, two of the greatest players of all-time, playing at an elite level. It’s incredible. Not sure how many more of these we are going to get. Defintely not taking this one for granted.

NBA is still carried by dudes that went to Blockbuster to get movies. Crazy. Classic game.

I don’t even care who won — that game was a fun watch, iignoring the calls that should’ve been made in the last 12 minutes (regulation and overtime).
But the most astonishing fact — the oldest player in the league just put up a **30-20-10 triple double**.

“*No, not really.*” – LeBron

That defense from Kuminga on the last drive was unacceptable.

That pull up 3 from D’lo after some terrible plays was insane 💀

Brutal fucking loss but man what a game, easily game of the year, and what an amazing performance by LeBron, 39 years old and pulls a Chamberlain stat line, can’t even be mad.
The Warriors had their chances to put it away, but they couldn’t do it and the Lakers just had one more clutch play than the Dubs. Heartbreaking L, but that’s the way it goes
GG Lakers, hyped for the next meeting!

I’m pretty sure the definition of elder abuse is making 39 year old LeBron James play in Double OT.
Career high in rebounds at this age in Year 21. Unbelievable.

Steph Curry vs LeBron James is the greatest sports rivalry I’ve ever seen and they both had all time performances against each other.
