The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors at home after exciting stages 104-101. The Warriors’ three-point specialist Stephen Curry got two chances from behind the extra point line at the end of the game, but the man’s accuracy failed at the worst possible moment.
The exciting match was decided five seconds before the end, when the Warriors Draymond Green threw the ball directly to the Lakers players during the attack.
Curry scored the most points in the match, 31, but he was the star of the night LeBron James. The 38-year-old veteran was not weighed down by age, as he led his team in scoring with 27 points and collected 9 rebounds and six assists.
James’ star moments included completely beating Curry in the fourth quarter. The shorter playmaker ran towards the basket, but James stopped the man’s intentions with a blunt block.
Since it is the Lakers’ home game, there were also many world stars in the stands. Areena’s camera crew spotted a superhero actor from the best places, among others Chris Pratt’sa reality TV star Kim Kardashian’sa gaming legend By Kareem Aboul-Jabbara member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Flea and an actor Jack Nicholson.

86-year-old Nicholson is always welcome at Lakers games, but this spring perhaps even more so. When the legendary performer has sat in the stands during this spring’s playoffs, the Lakers have always left the court victorious.
Nicholson was out of the public eye for almost two years until the actor was seen at a Lakers game in late April.
The Lakers now lead the Warriors 3-1. The winner of the series will face either the conference number one Denver Nuggets or the Phoenix Suns in the semifinals.
