The Los Angeles Lakers (10-17) will take on the Golden State Warriors (23-6) live Monday night in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. The Lakers will look to break out of a slump as Lonzo Ball and the team will go head up with the defending champs. While the Warriors will be without their leading playmaker, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant has taken on a leadership role in his absence.
In their first meeting on November 29, the Warriors pulled out a close one in overtime as Durant poured in 29 points, while Brandon Ingram scored 32 points for the Lakers. Tonight will be the second meeting between the Pacific Divison rivals. The Lakers are coming off tough losses against the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers. As for the Warriors, even without the services of Curry, they have continued to win by riding an eight-game winning streak.
As great as this matchup is, the big story is what will happen at halftime. The Los Angeles Lakers will retire the jerseys of Kobe Bryant in a ceremony in which Warriors head coach Stever Kerr will bring his team out to witness, according to an ESPN report. Bryant played 20 seasons for the Lakers and won five NBA championships for the Purple and Gold.
In 2015, Bryant decided to call it quits after a stellar career in which he totaled 33,643 points, 6,306 assists, and 7,047 rebounds while averaging 25 points per game for his career. Known throughout the league as “Black Mamba,” this will be a night Lakers fans will cherish forever.
