    Thursday night, April 3

    Luka Doncic scored just 19 points on 6-of-17 shooting in the Lakers’ 123-116 loss to the Warriors, snapping his 114-game 3-point streak. Despite a strong second-half push led by LeBron (33 pts) and Reaves (31 pts), L.A. couldn’t complete the comeback.

LeBron powered a second-half surge with 25 of his 33 after the break, but the Warriors’ swarming defense and early lead proved too much. The Lakers now sit 4th in the West with six games remaining.
