Quick Summary

Luka Dončić faced a tough night as Steph Curry broke his ankles during Friday’s game, leading to an embarrassing moment for Dončić when Curry followed up with a 3-pointer. The Warriors celebrated this victory by posting slow-motion clips of the play on Instagram, highlighting their comeback win against the Lakers with a significant margin of 17 points after trailing by 25 or more—a feat not seen since 1997-98. Ayesha Curry shared similar content but focused on her husband hyping up the crowd rather than the specific ankle-breaking moment. This victory allowed the Warriors to take control of the narrative against Dončić and the Lakers, who won’t face each other again until January 27.
