The host Los Angeles Lakers handily defeated the Golden State Warriors on Friday, 117 - 97. It was Lakers (3 - 3) coach Luke Walton's first game against the Warriors since leaving the organization over the offseason. Walton coached the Warriors for the beginning of their historic 2015 - 16 regular season in place of an injured Steve Kerr, but later left to pursue the head coaching job in Los Angeles. Walton certainly got the best of his former team, as the Lakers were able to maintain their hefty halftime lead down the stretch. The team successfully capitalized on their size advantage, holding a 51 - 40 advantage in the rebounding column. Third-year forward Julius Randle led the team with 20 points and was a monster on the boards, pulling down 14 rebounds. The Lakers also saw success from the line, hitting over 90 percent of their free - throws. For the Warriors (4 - 2), it was a tough night from beyond the arc. After showing dominant offensive flow on Thursday in a rout of the Thunder, the Warriors shot just 5 - for - 32 from three in Friday's contest. This included 0 - for - 10 for Steph Curry, whose NBA-record streak of 157 games with a three - point make finally came to an end. The results were n't much better for Klay Thompson, who went just 2 - for - 10. Kevin Durant, meanwhile, continued to perform with his new team, leading the game with 27 points. The Lakers will host the Suns on Sunday, while the Warriors will host the still - winless Pelicans on Monday.
