The Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers, led by superstars Steph Curry and LeBron James, will clash on Christmas Day in a nationally televised game. Both teams are in the midst of a competitive Western Conference, vying for a playoff spot.
Lakers star LeBron James, left, stands next to Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry during Game 1 of their 2023 Western Conference semifinal series in San Francisco. The future Hall of Famers will reportedly lead their teams into another marquee matchup on Christmas Day in San Francisco. The Warriors are in a familiar spot this Christmas: not sitting by the fire or caroling, but rather playing in primetime.
Three games separate the 11th-place Suns to the fifth-place Nuggets. The Lakers and Warriors — seventh and eighth — are right in the thick of that group., the Warriors have lost 10 of their last 13 games. The Lakers are also coming off a defeat, to the Pistons, but have played better ball lately. They won three straight — two against the Kings and another victory over the Grizzlies — last week.
That was the fourth straight year James has played Curry on Christmas, with the three prior matchups being with Cleveland. In 2016, the defending champion Cavs came back from a 14-point deficit for a win to spoil Kevin Durant’s 36-point output.
