Warriors get a comfortable win over the Lakers (without LeBron). Steph Curry had 32 points in 31 minutes. Record up to 28-26. They're a half-game behind the Lakers for #9. Two matchups in LA later this season. GSW gained game on LAL and Suns today. Mavericks, Pelicans, Kings won.

Klay Thompson, 1-for-9 shooting, comes curling off a screen and has a good look …
But he passes to TJD for a dunk, his 5th assist of the night
This is the smart play they need from him
