In what is one of the most anticipated second-round matchups the NBA has seen in recent memory, the Los Angeles Lakers took on Stephen Curry and the defending world-champion Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
Game 1 largely lived up to expectations, as both teams went back and forth and decided the outcome in the final seconds. In the end, it was the Lakers who were able to outlast Stephen Curry and company for a 117-112 win in San Francisco.
Once again, L.A. has stolen home-court advantage to start a postseason series, and it did so on the back of Anthony Davis, who had 30 points, 23 rebounds, five assists and four blocked shots.
NBA Twitter was thoroughly impressed at what transpired in Game 1.
