Warriors Rally From 23 Down to Beat Lakers
11 sourcesUpdated Oct 31, 20261 min read
The Golden State Warriors rallied from a 23-point first-quarter deficit to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 112-95 in their NBA Cup matchup, tying the game at halftime after both teams scored 38 in the second quarter. Stephen Curry delivered the night’s signature moment in the third quarter, shaking Luka Dončić off balance before sinking a three; Curry finished with 22 points, while Dončić led the Lakers with 35. The rematch had been framed by a heated exchange between Dončić and Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg in an earlier game, but Curry took center stage as Golden State extended its winning run.

Curry's crossover and that step-back three felt like the spark the Warriors needed after digging such a deep hole early.
