Los Angeles, California - The Los Angeles Lakers host the league-leading Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, December 23, at the Staples Center.
The LA Lakers (8-19), 5th in the Pacific, would love to have this basketball battle against Golden State (23-3), 1st in the Pacific, through Kobe Bryant, who averages 35 minutes of playing time.
One of the greatest challenges in the career of Bryant is to get his team at least into the .500 with plenty of works to do. The fading star averages 24.6 per game and only 37.2 percent of his field goal attempts.
In the current struggle of LA, losing three games in a row, Bryant averages 18.3 points while 26.8 percent from the field. Also, Bryant is taking too many shots. Bryant shot 8 of 30 and ended up 25 points and a whopping nine turnovers in a 108-101 loss to Sacramento last Sunday.
With Bryant’s tremendous low-key game, Nick Young added 26 points against the Kings. Young was one of the most reliable players in the Lakers’ uniform.
On the other hand, the Warrior continuously at the top of their game, winning 128-108 over the Kings on Monday night. Klay Thompson had 25 points against the Kings. Thompson drilled in 41 points in the first game against the Lakers and he will be part of the offensive juggernaut that the Warriors implement in tonight’s game.
Point guard Stephen Curry averages 30.3 points and 12.3 assists in the last three games against the Lakers. By scoring 12 points and assisting 11 on Monday, Curry would be tested against Los Angeles.
Warriors vs Lakers start time is at 10:30 PM ET. Warriors vs Lakers tv channel schedule is on TWC SN / TWC D. Warriors vs Lakers scores and results will be posted here after the game.
