The Lakers vs. Warriors game on Saturday was missing superstar LeBron James who sat out to rest after his previous effort versus the Clippers. It also featured Stephen Curry on an off-night, but he would heat up later on. Still, the Warriors had enough firepower late from their stars to capture another win with a 115-101 final score.
Klay Thompson - Golden State Warriors
It was a struggle in Saturday's game for Stephen Curry, but Klay Thompson picked up the slack. He scored 23 points in just the first half to lead the way. Thompson finished the game with 28 points on 10-for-15 shooting along with five rebounds and two assists.

DeMarcus Cousins - Golden State Warriors
One highlight play that really got the Warriors ignited when they were losing to the Lakers was a huge dunk by DeMarcus Cousins. He followed it up with a stare at Kyle Kuzma who had fallen to the floor as the dunk victim. Cousins finished the game with 18 points and 10 rebounds as well as four assists and two blocks in the win.

Brandon Ingram - Los Angeles Lakers
With LeBron James and Lonzo Ball out of action, the Lakers needed someone to try to step up. That player was Brandon Ingram in Saturday's game against the Warriors. Ingram tallied 20 points, four rebounds, three assists, and one block in the losing effort.
