Key moment

Neither team had led by more than six points before the Lakers’ Max Christie hit a 3-pointer to give Los Angeles a 74-65 edge midway through the third period. Christie connected on another 3 on the Lakers’ next possession and the Warriors got no closer than six points the rest of the way.

Key stat

Curry missed a free throw with 4 1/2 minutes left in the second quarter. That ended his streak of 37 consecutive makes. He entered Saturday leading the NBA in free-throw percentage at 94.
