The Lakers suffered through another drought of nearly four minutes later in the third and Thompson highlighted a 9-0 run with a 3-pointer to push the lead to 60-46. Back-to-back layups by Speights spread it out to 72-50 before Los Angeles scored the final seven points of the third.
The Warriors scored on each of their first four possessions in the fourth quarter, capped by Kent Bazemore’s 3-pointer that gave Golden State an 83-60 advantage. Young scored seven straight points to make it 83-67 and bring the Warriors’ starters back off the bench.
Golden State responded with a 10-2 spurt capped by back-to-back 3-pointers from Curry and Thompson before bringing back the reserves. The Lakers had 11 assists and 24 turnovers as a two-game winning streak came to an end.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Speights was given a flagrant 2 foul after an official review and ejected for taking Young down with 9:33 left in the contest. … Bogut is the first Golden State player since Erick Dampier in 2004 to record consecutive games of 18 or more rebounds and the first Warriors this season to collect 20 in a game. … Los Angeles PG Kendall Marshall made his debut with the team and had three points and four turnovers in six minutes off the bench.
