Steph Curry scored 27 points in 32 minutes, but it wasn't enough as the Warriors suffered a costly loss to the Lakers on Sunday.
He then missed all four of his shots in the third quarter, as the Warriors were outscored by five in the period. His first attempt in the fourth quarter was a layup that Austin Reaves swatted away with authority, prompted Reaves to feel himself and the Lakers crowd loudly cheer. All that did was wake Curry up.
The Warriors couldn't do enough without him. The game shifted with him on the bench during the fourth quarter.For the first time since Jan. 13, Andre Iguodala was in a game for the Warriors. Iguodala was stuck to the bench in the first quarter before stepping on the floor to start the second. He played six minutes in the second quarter and missed his only shot attempt, but the Warriors were a plus-14 in that span as Iguodala added an assist and a block.
The 39-year-old played 14 minutes and was a plus-13 in plus/minus. Iguodala looked strong physically, but struggled with his shot -- missing both of his attempts, which were 3-pointers.
