The Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night behind a big game from Steph Curry in his return from injury. Finishing with 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, Curry was fantastic in his first game back from injury, leading his team to a much needed win over Los Angeles.

This was the 50th time that Curry and LeBron James have faced off in the regular season or playoffs, and it was another epic duel. James finished with 40 points, 9 assists, and 8 rebounds, keeping his team alive in the second half without Anthony Davis.

When asked about another battle with James, Curry said the following on the ESPN broadcast:

"They're always going to talk about me and him, and obviously deservedly so, but it was about our total group tonight. [Jonathan Kuminga] getting off to a hot start, taking what the defense gave him, Klay [Thompson] coming off the bench with huge buckets, [Chris Paul] controlling the tempo the first six minutes of the fourth quarter, Draymond [Green] doing what he does. The list can go on. For us it takes a whole team to win, and we needed it. We needed it bad."

Recognizing that this was a team win, Curry shouted out his teammates after the game for coming together and picking up a huge victory in Los Angeles.
