Lakers blow 25-point lead in double-digit loss to Warriors

The Los Angeles Lakers squandered a massive 25-point advantage during their NBA Cup matchup against the Golden State Warriors, ultimately suffering a 112-95 defeat. Despite a strong start that saw the Lakers dominate the opening period, their momentum evaporated as they struggled with 22 turnovers and a stagnant fourth-quarter offense that produced only 15 points.

Luka Doncic led the Lakers with 37 points, while Austin Reaves added 21 in the losing effort.

Stephen Curry paced the Warriors with 31 points, including eight successful three-pointers, to help overcome the early deficit. The contest featured several notable moments, including a technical foul assessed to Doncic and a late-game technical against Matisse Thybulle.

The Lakers failed to score for over four minutes during the final frame, allowing Golden State to pull away and secure the victory.
