LeBron Goes 26/11/8 as Lakers Beat Warriors, Keep Playoff Seeding Alive

LeBron James turned back the clock with 26 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds on 11-for-17 shooting as the Lakers beat the Warriors 119-103 at Chase Center. He also knocked down three triples. At 41, he still does this.

Deandre Ayton added 21 points and five rebounds, and Jake LaRavia chipped in 16/7/4 as the Lakers snapped a three-game losing streak. It was their fourth straight win on Golden State's home floor.

Steph Curry sat out the front end of a back-to-back — the Warriors didn't want to risk him on consecutive nights after his recent knee issue. Golden State, using their 41st starting lineup of the season and down to just 10 healthy players, had no answer. The Lakers are 1.5 games behind Denver for the 3-seed with two games left. Every win matters now.
