LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 LeBron James had 20 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds to help the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 105-99 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles won its third straight game despite not have superstar guard Luka Doncic after he sustained a mild hamstring strain Thursday night, and center DeAndre Ayton was a late scratch because of a knee injury.<\/p>\n
Luke Kennard had 10 points in his Lakers debut after being acquired in a trade from Atlanta on Thursday, including a key corner 3-pointer and finding Jarred Vanderbilt underneath the basket for a dunk as part of a late 11-0 run.<\/p>\n
Rui Hachimura had 18 points, Austin Reaves added 16, and Marcus Smart had 15.<\/p>\n
Moses Moody had 25 points to lead the Warriors, who have lost four of their past six games. Stephen Curry missed his third straight game because of a knee injury.<\/p>\n
James and the Lakers found their offense in the third quarter, starting with a 10-2 run that included Reaves’ free throw before the period began after Draymond Green was called for a technical foul at the end of the first half.<\/p>\n
James finished with 12 points in the third, netting two 3-pointers and two more three-point plays, helping the Lakers to an eight-point lead.<\/p>\n
The Warriors struggled with their long range shooting for much of the game before finally finding some touch early in the fourth quarter to put a scare in the home team before the Lakers pulled away for good. Golden State ended up 14 of 51 (27.5%) from behind the arc.<\/p>\n
