The matchup between Stephen Curry and LeBron James has been one of the best rivalries in the NBA over the last decade, and it's just as good now that the two are in the late stages of their career. Ultimately, Curry won the battle this time.

Curry made his share of three-pointers in the game, but his silky-smooth move against Lakers star Luka Doncic in the third quarter was arguably the best highlight of the night. The Lakers for some reason felt comfortable leaving Doncic alone to guard one of the best ball-handlers of this generation, and he dearly paid the price: Chef's kiss.

Stephen Curry scored 37 points and Brandin Podziemski added 28 with a career-high eight 3-pointers as visiting the Golden State Warriors gained a game on the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference playoff race with a 123-116 win on Thursday night.
