Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors 134-120 because they were unable to complete the task at hand. Even though LeBron James gave it his all, Los Angeles was unable to overcome the absence of Anthony Davis in a game that was vital for the team’s ultimate Western standings.

The good news for the Lakers is that Davis is expected to play again after missing just one game.
