The Warriors landed a few body blows early against the Lakers on Wednesday night, but LeBron James delivered the knockout punch with a wild 3-pointer to give Los Angeles a 103-100 win.
With exactly one minute remaining on the clock in the fourth quarter and the score tied at 100, James caught the ball at the Staples Center logo and launched a deep attempt to avoid a shot clock violation. The four-time NBA champion drained the triple, leaving Stephen Curry and the Warriors stunned.
Golden State, which controlled much of the game and held a 13-point lead at halftime, failed to score on its final two offensive possessions, giving Los Angeles the play-in victory and No. 7 seed in the Western Conference playoff bracket. The Warriors will face the Grizzlies on Friday for the No. 8 seed in a win-or-go-home contest.

From a health standpoint, Frank Vogel said the Lakers are “good to go,” with everybody available.
Will be the expected starting lineup. Vogel has a script for how he wants to use the center position (big vs. small, etc.) but they can adjust quickly based on how game is going.
