It's Game Day, Dub Nation! The warriorsand the Los Angeles Lakers are tied 1-1 in the Western Conference Semifinals. Watch the action tonight at 5:30 p.m. on ABC7.
Thompson scored 30 points with eight 3-pointers, Golden State limited Anthony Davis while allowing LeBron James 23 points, and the defending champion Warriors evened their Western Conference semifinal with the Lakers at one game apiece with a 127-100 win Thursday night.
"They made their adjustments. We knew they were going to do that, that's what a championship team does," James said. "They held serve on their home court tonight."Coach Steve Kerr switched things up and inserted JaMychal Green into the starting lineup for Kevon Looney, who had a career-high 23 rebounds in Game 1 but has been dealing with an illness.
The best-of-seven series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Saturday. Back home in Southern California, Thompson said he would play in the memory of "my biggest inspiration" Kobe Bryant and daughter, Gigi.James shot 6 for 8 in the first with a pair of 3s for 14 points as the Lakers led 33-26. He retrieved a loose ball and let it fly for a pretty 3 with 7:47 before halftime but the Warriors were too much.
Looney received huge roars as he came off the bench for his first action with 3:41 left in the first. He grabbed eight rebounds and scored six points playing just less than 12 minutes - and the Warriors still outboarded the Lakers 55-40 without its best rebounder.
