Klay Thompson scored 27 points, Stephen Curry had 23 and the Golden State Warriors capitalized on Anthony Davis\u2019 injury absence for a 134-120 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Andrew Wiggins had 17 points for the 10th-place Warriors, who hit 26 of their 41 3-point attempts \u2014 including an astonishing 16 of 23 from Curry, Thompson and Draymond Green, who went 5 for 5 in the first half by himself.<\/p>\n

Golden State\u2019s 26 3s were the most ever allowed in a game by the Lakers.<\/p>\n

Even after a decade as the coach of a scoring machine, Steve Kerr can still be impressed by his Big Three.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t feel like we played that well, but we made a million 3s,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cThe ball was going in, but I didn\u2019t think we were sharp. A lot of possessions where we weren\u2019t just quite locked in and we were a little bit disjointed, but the ball kept going in. \u2026 To shoot 63% from 3, that\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Warriors (44-35) have won eight of nine down the stretch to move within a half-game of ninth-place Los Angeles (45-35). Golden State also won the head-to-head tiebreaker between the rivals, putting home-court advantage for a potential 9-10 play-in game next week in the Warriors\u2019 hands over their final three regular-season games.<\/p>\n

LeBron James had 33 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds for the Lakers, who had won eight of nine before taking back-to-back home losses in the past three days. Austin Reaves added 22 points and Rui Hachimura had 20, while D\u2019Angelo Russell struggled to 14 points on 3-of-11 shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we\u2019re as good as any team in the league when we\u2019re whole \u2014 and when we\u2019re not, we\u2019re not,\u201d James said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard for us to make up, especially having a guy like AD not playing. It\u2019s almost pretty much impossible to make up for what he provides for our ballclub, both offensively and defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis sat out due to the aftereffects of being hit in the head by Minnesota\u2019s Kyle Anderson in the Lakers\u2019 loss to the Timberwolves last Sunday night. Davis took a similar blow to his left eye last month from Golden State\u2019s Trayce Jackson-Davis.<\/p>\n

Without its All-Star big man, Los Angeles couldn\u2019t defend the Warriors effectively and missed the chance to move into eighth place past struggling Sacramento (45-34), which blew a big second-half lead and lost to Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n

Davis showed up to the Lakers\u2019 downtown arena Tuesday, but \u201ccouldn\u2019t overcome the headaches and nausea\u201d caused by that blow, coach Darvin Ham said. Davis isn\u2019t in the concussion protocol, Ham added, but he missed a key game after largely avoiding serious injuries all season for the first time in a half-decade.<\/p>
