LeBron James wasn\u2019t scheduled to play due to a right foot injury, but Steph Curry was available after four weeks on the injury list.<\/p>\n<p>The usual A-listers were led by Denzel Washington and Jennifer Garner, while an NHL legend made a somewhat surprising appearance:<\/p>\n<p>Alex Ovechkin took time off his busy NHL schedule to enjoy basketball action in the NBA. Despite the Washington Capitals\u2019 crucial stretch of trying to get into the playoffs, he was at hand to see the Warriors visit the Lakers.<\/p>\n<p>Golden State and Los Angeles met for the fourth and last time in the regular season. The next time they will play each other could be in the play-in tournament or even the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>Ovechkin and the rest of the stars who descended at Crypto.com Arena witnessed the LA Lakers\u2019 sizzling start despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/news-how-serious-lebron-james-foot-injury-latest-update-la-lakers-superstar-injury-possible-return-date\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">LeBron James\u2019 absence<\/a>. LA raced out of the gates, outscoring the Golden State Warriors 33-18 in the first 12 minutes of the game.<\/p>\n<p>The defending NBA champs, however, buckled down to work in the second quarter by blitzing the Lakers 36-22. The 55-54 score heading into the halftime break was the kind of action the home crowd, including Alex Ovechkin, Denzel Washington and Jennifer Garner, appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>The Bay Area squad is perhaps the league\u2019s best third-quarter team, often turning the tables on their opponents and grabbing the game\u2019s momentum. Tonight, LA were extraordinarily prepared for that and managed to keep their opponents at bay.<\/p>\n<p>In the fourth period, Anthony Davis showed the star-studded audience that he can carry the LA Lakers when LeBron James is unavailable. He dropped 12 of his 39 points in the pivotal quarter to drag his team to victory.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/twitter\">\n<div class=\"tweet-outer-container\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container\">\n<div class=\"tweet-body\">Anthony Davis today: <\/p>\n<p>39 points <br \/>8 rebounds <br \/>6 assists <br \/>2 blocks <br \/>56% FG <\/p>\n<p>Domination on both ends <noscript><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" data-img=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/twemoji\/14.0.2\/72x72\/1f525.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd25\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/cdnjs.cloudflare.com\/ajax\/libs\/twemoji\/14.0.2\/72x72\/1f525.png\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%2018%2018%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-images-container images-count-1\">\n<div class=\"tweet-image-summary\" style=\"padding-bottom: 112.77%;\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"View image on Twitter\" src=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/03\/f5c4f-16781068427790-1920.jpg\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"603\" height=\"680\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/03\/f5c4f-16781068427790-1920.jpg\" alt=\"View image on Twitter\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/03\/f5c4f-16781068427790-1920.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20603%20680%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheNBACentral\/status\/1632518799571271682\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Tweet\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"app-tweet-blockquote\"><p>Anthony Davis today: 39 points 8 rebounds 6 assists 2 blocks 56% FG Domination on both ends \ud83d\udd25 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cm3ytTDfFV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/cm3ytTDfFV<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>AD\u2019s eight points in the last four minutes of the game allowed the LA Lakers to survive 113-105 against the Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>The LA Lakers and Golden State Warriors could battle in the playoffs<\/h2>\n<p>The LA Lakers hold a 31-34 record after beating the Golden State Warriors last night. More importantly, they\u2019ve temporarily brought themselves closer to a play-in ticket or even an outright playoff berth.

Two such possibilities include a mouthwatering matchup between the Golden State Warriors in the play-in tournament or the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>If LeBron James and Steph Curry are healthy when the stakes are high, expect the stars to flock to these games.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 8px 21px 0; overflow: visible !important;\">\n<div class=\"bottom-info-container\">\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Michael Macasero<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><template id=\"reply-input-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"reply-section-container\" parent-comment-id=\"\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pic-near-reply-box\" src=\"\" alt=\"Profile picture\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><br \/>\n<template id=\"gif-box-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '952063904834769'); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/news-which-nhl-legend-joined-likes-jennifer-garner-denzel-washington-la-lakers-vs-golden-state-warriors-game?utm_source=feed&#038;utm_medium=referral&#038;utm_campaign=sportskeeda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The marquee matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the LA Lakers drew an expected star-studded crew from sports and entertainment.
