LOS ANGELES -- While the Los Angeles Lakers shouted and shoved each other with elation, Luke Walton managed to look unsurprised by the incredible upset unfolding before them. Air Max Outlet .The Los Angeles Lakers were battering the mighty Golden State Warriors. Waltons championship-tested former team just couldnt catch up to his young, hungry new squad.Although its far too early in the season to truly celebrate anything, Walton thinks the Lakers future is fascinating.Lou Williams scored 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers snapped Stephen Currys NBA-record streak of 157 games with a 3-pointer during their 117-97 victory Friday night.Julius Randle had 20 points and 14 rebounds, and DAngelo Russell added 17 points for the rebuilding Lakers. They built a 21-point lead in the third quarter and hung on to shock the Warriors at Staples Center for the third consecutive season.It obviously feels better because theyre the best, Walton said. Theyre as good as it gets. ... But it was just good to see the progress continuing.After his first meeting with his former team and his coaching mentor, Steve Kerr, Walton claimed the win meant nothing special to him -- but he could understand why the Lakers and their fans might feel differently.Los Angeles has made a habit of surprising the Warriors recently, but as Williams put it: This one was valid.Weve got a lot of young talent here, Williams added. Finally its starting to look like we have some pieces in the right places.Kevin Durant scored 27 points and Draymond Green had 16, but the Warriors never led and couldnt entirely close the huge gap in the second half while falling to 4-2. Golden State didnt lose its second game under Walton last year until Dec. 30.One night after Durant scored 39 points to beat his former Oklahoma City Thunder teammates, the Warriors scored a season-low 15 points in the first quarter and never fully recovered.You dont like the feeling at all, Curry said. But youve got to wrap your head around where you are in the season, and the good weve shown early in the year, but also focus on the things we need to work on. Regardless of a game like last night or tonight, we still have some things we need to work on.STREAK SNAPPEDCurry scored 13 points while going 0 for 10 from 3-point range, ending several incredible long-distance streaks. He had hit a 3-pointer in every regular-season game since Nov. 11, 2014.Including the postseason, Curry had at least one 3 in 196 straight games, and he had also hit in 116 straight regular-season road games -- both NBA records.That was a cool little ride, Curry said. Would have loved to finish my career making one every game, but hey, start a new one. What was it, like two years? Kind of weird not to make one, but I will keep shooting.NOT AGAINEight months ago at Staples Center, the pre-Durant Warriors also lost 112-95 to the worst Lakers team in franchise history, one of Golden States mere nine losses last season. Another bad Lakers team also beat Golden State at home on Dec. 23, 2014.Its our annual beatdown at Staples by the Lakers, Kerr said. They do this every year. Lets just give them credit. They came in sky-high with a ton of energy, played really well, and we were flat, right from the beginning.TIP-INSWarriors: Durant scored at least 20 points for his 70th straight game, surpassing Michael Jordans 1990-91 streak and matching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the sixth-longest such streak in NBA history. ... G Patrick McCaw is still out with an ankle injury. ... Drake, Denzel Washington, Dodgers slugger Yasiel Puig and Kings goalie Jonathan Quick were among the crowd that turned out to see the revamped Western Conference champions.Lakers: Timofey Mozgov played despite a bruise around his left eye, courtesy of an elbow from Indianas Jeff Teague earlier this week. The Russian center was considered doubtful for the game after missing Wednesdays win in Atlanta, but Mozgov played 16 minutes. ... The Lakers wore throwback uniforms from their Showtime era, although their current uniforms are only slightly different.UP NEXTWarriors: Host Pelicans on Monday.Lakers: Host Suns on Sunday. Cheap Air Max From China . "Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. Cheap Authentic Air Max . LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. https://www.airmaxchina.us/ . As he recorded his 23rd and 24th points of the evening, a segment of the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd expressed their appreciation for the Raptors point guard with a smattering of MVP chants. Jason Holder, the West Indies captain, felt the gulf between the regions first-class structure and the international level stood exposed, as they lost by 237 runs in Gros Islet to concede the four-Test series to India with one match still to play.It is going to be difficult. Test match cricket is very different from our first-class cricket at this point of time. I have had the privilege to play first-class cricket and Ive also had the privilege to play Test cricket and I can see a vast disparity between the two, he said. It is a situation where many of us coming to international cricket and are trying to learn on our job. It is definitely not easy, but it is something that we are faced with and I hope the guys can learn quickly.Hope that our guys bodies are accustomed to the workloads of international cricket because it is far different from first-class cricket. For instance you get a first-class game where a fast bowler hardly bowls the amount of overs we have bowled in this series. For the last five to 10 years we have had spinners dominating first-class cricket in terms of wickets taken. So it is a transition that we have to try to open up and adjust to as quickly as possible. It is by no means easy and sometimes we dont make it easy for ourselves.West Indies, who had to bat out a minimum of 87 overs to save the Test, were bowled out for 108 in just 47.3 overs, with just one batsman - Darren Bravo - crossing 20. They had fared only marginally better in the first innings, being bowled out for 225 after being handily placed at 202 for 3 at one stage.We havent been able to put up reasonable first-innings totals which have hampered us in the recent past. If you dont put up a good first-innings total, then you are chasing the game, Holder said. We need to knuckle down. As batsmen, we need to be accountable for our actions. At the top, predominantly, we havent been consistent; not getting starts weve been looking for.Asked to elaborate on the batting struggle, Holderr said it was simply a case of being too overcautious at times, apart from failing to learn from their mistakes in the first innings. Discount Air Max. I think the difference from here to Jamaica is that we also spent time but we didnt score, he said. I think most of the batsmen have spent some time initially but they havent tick over the scoreboard as well as we would like. I cant speak for every batsman and it is a situation where each batsman needs to cope, how we are going to score and how we are going to occupy the crease. So sitting here is difficult to answer but all I can say is that the responsibility is on the batsmen at the present time.Holder emphasised the need to string together patches of domination before looking at bigger goals, something the team did sporadically in Jamaica, and then on the first two days in St Lucia before things slipped away from them.At the beginning of the series, I made very clear that we need to show signs of improvement. We have had a really tough tour in Australia in terms of our bowling and I have seen significant improvements in terms of our bowling, Holder said. We have been inconsistent with the bat for quite a while now. You have to make steps forward and you just cant leap. As a baby you need to crawl before you can walk.Definitely winning is a priority but we need to put ourselves in position to win games but the only way we can do that is by taking 20 wickets and at least putting up a very good first innings total in terms of securing the draw and then push for win. But we havent been able to put ourselves in those situations, to be quite frank. I think, moving forward, we need to be more consistent in terms of getting those first-innings total, 350-plus, obviously taking 10 wickets up front and coming back and taking the other 10. I think thats the direction in which we need to move towards. ' ' '
