Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors live online: stats, scores and highlights | 2023 NBA Playoffs

With the Lakers having apparently found their footing and the Warriors the defending champions on the up, we're set for a huge clash between these two.

The Lakers come good in Game 1

It was a mixed bag in Game 1. The Warriors being a team that works the screen like no other, will definitely come away feeling frustrated given that they did not shoot very well tonight. The Lakers on the other hand, stuck to their assignments with a dogged intensity. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson were both hounded and harried.

Mention should also be made of the Lakers' supporting cast. From D'Angelo Russell to Dennis Schroder, there was definitely a level of production from the Lakers' bench that was absolutely critical to the win.

Ultimately, this will be a bitter pill for the Warriors to swallow as it wasn't a case of their game plan not working, it just wasn't executed as cleanly as it normally is. When game 2 rolls around it will be imperative that they sink their open looks, given how difficult it was for them inside the paint.

That being said, what a night Kevon Looney had with more than 20 rebounds. Indeed, where the Lakers are concerned they will need to address that in Game 2 if they don't want to run the risk of paying the price. At any rate, there's still quite a way to go in this series and we can already see that it's shaping up to be everything we hoped it would be.

With that, we thank you for joining us and do be sure to join us next time as we take you through Game 2.

It's Game Time!

That's right folks. It's time for tip off in this 2023 NBA Playoff western conference semi final series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors.

We've seen the players warm up, we've heard the lovely Jmaye since the national anthem and we're now hearing the starting lineups being called. It's that time!

as.com

Easier said than done...

It would be fair to say that many teams have probably said the same and learned a hard lesson as a result of that. Could the Lakers be the exception?

as.com

Not long now...

With just minutes to go before tip off, anticipation is at fever pitch now. There's no doubt that we're in for an incredible series with both teams loaded with stars.

Steph Curry is coming off a record breaking night with 50 points, as he spearheaded his team's decimation of the Kings. In the other series, it was LeBron James who had the last laugh against the Grizzlies and their contentious guard, Dillon Brooks.Indeed, Brooks has since been told by his team that he can't return.

as.com

Welcome welcome welcome!

It's the 2023 NBA Playoffs and we've got a huge one for you tonight!

Indeed, it would be safe to say that this match up is as big as it gets in this postseason and the kind that many might prefer to see in the finals. On one side, we've got the defending champion, Golden State Warriors, who it must be said are starting to find their rhythm. Two-time MVP Steph Curry needs no introduction, nor do his accomplices like Klay Thompson or Draymond Green.

On the other side, we've got the Lakers who came stumbling into these playoffs but have just come from soundly beating the contentious Grizzlies who were favored to advance. Led by LeBron James who has literally been having a record breaking season, LA are on the up and the Warriors would do well to be aware of that.

Be sure to stay with us, as we'll be taking you through the action play by play!
