The Golden State Warriors secured a victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in a key game, capitalizing on Anthony Davis' absence. The Golden State Warriors made a significant impact by hitting 26 three-pointers against the Lakers, the most allowed in a game by Los Angeles this season. With this win, the Warriors (44-35) have been on a roll, winning eight of their last nine games and closing in on the Lakers (45-35) who hold the ninth spot. Golden State also clinched the head-to-head tiebreaker against the Lakers, positioning themselves to potentially host a play-in game for the 9-10 seed next week.
