The Golden State Warriors play the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Tipoff is at 10:30 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast below.
Golden State (48-30) looks to bounce back from their 100-99 loss on Thursday to the Denver Nuggets. With the playoffs around the corner, every game matters.
"We've got to get better," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said, via ESPN. "There's no ands, ifs or buts about it. We've got to be better, and we've got to do a better job of taking care of business and closing out possessions and putting teams away. We can't hide from that."
Warriors guard Stephen Curry scored 24 points, including a go-ahead floater with 4.7 seconds left, but Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried made a hook shot with less than a second remaining to push Denver ahead.
Los Angeles (25-53), meanwhile, are headed to the NBA lottery. They go into Friday's game looking to avoid their sixth straight loss after a 145-130 loss on Tuesday to the Houston Rockets.
Their season has been marred by injuries, but their losing record isn't for lack of trying.
"We talk about schemes and different ways to play things, but it just seems like guys on other teams score too easily," Lakers guard Jordan Farmar said. "It just comes down to that."
