Warriors star Stephen Curry said his injured thumb is a lingering issue but "shouldn't bother me like it did" Saturday night, when he shot 0-of-8 in the second half of a 118-108 loss to the Lakers.

“Yet the problem that then occurs is that the Lakers would need to send out a colossal number of players to match the salary of Stephen Curry, at which point the Warriors themselves would need to cut multiple key players just to absorb the number of players coming to them.”

The Los Angeles Lakers took care of business on Saturday night by defeating Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in a primetime battle. Anthony Davis and LeBron James led the way in a game the Lakers had control of for much of the way.
