The Los Angeles Lakers are hosting the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night for one of the most highly-anticipated divisional matchups possible. Superstars Steph Curry and LeBron James faced off in the NBA Finals for four consecutive years between 2015-18, so it is always a show when they meet for a rematch.

LeBron James had 42 points and 17 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers blew most of a 26-point lead before hanging on to beat the Golden State Warriors 120-112.

LeBron James joined Michael Jordan as the only players over 40 to have scored 40-plus points in a single NBA game on Thursday, as the Los Angeles Lakers held off a fightback from the Golden State Warriors to win 120-112.
