The Warriors were down 23 points after the 1st quarter. Tied the game at halftime. Led after three quarters.
Now. Golden State lead is up to 10. Still a lot of time left in the game, but a crazy turn of events throughout the game.
9:38 remaining in 4Q.
#Warriors fans dishing out “Luka sucks” chants in late 3rd quarter. Golden State leads LA after 3Q, 85-80.
Warriors seem to be taking control, but expect Lakers to make a run or two in the 4Q.
Things getting spooky on this Halloween eve in the Bay.
As expected, Luka Doncic is booed at Chase Center when Yaxel Lendeborg guarded him. #Warriors crowd even broke out in "Luka sucks" chants.
Lakers jumped out to a 12-2 lead w/ 9:42 in 1Q. Doncic is 1/3 FGs. (1/2 when guarded by Lendeborg) so far.

“It's not just going to be handed to us just because we're at Ballhalla … It's going to be a dogfight.”
The Valkyries had a chance to win it all in Game 6.
Now, for Game 7, they have to regroup.
✍🏾 @marcusdsmith_ has more on how the Valkyries need to find their identity again.

Still thinking about this answer from Nneka Ogwumike about what makes Angel Reese special.
"There's an intrigue, there's an intellect, there's a respect... She wants more. She wants to be challenged. She just wants to be the greatest she can be."

Exclusive in @andscape: Ben Simmons: ‘I’ll do everything in my power to get back.’ The Sacramento #Kings forward discusses Achilles injury, support from his team, finding a home in Sacramento, friendly trash talk with Kerr and Curry and more. @E60 also filmed addition for “Being Ben” documentary coming soon. #NBA tinyurl.com/356mkayc
A lot of #Kings discourse on who needs to go, moves to make, etc etc. and they’re not even five games into the season.
Some begun to call for Doug Christie’s coaching job. I understand the argument but I’m not sure that even solves the Kings’ issues.
Is Sac already cooked?

“It's better than, you know, having it at the YMCA that night in front of 75 people.”

Dream lead 14-13 after 1.
But, friends. It’s gross. Dream shooting 26%. Valkyries shooting 29%.
Angel Reese leads all scorers with 5 points and 6 rebounds.
