LeBron and Steph Deliver Holiday Thriller as Reaves Seals the Win

Austin Reaves came in clutch with a winning layup in the final second, right after Steph Curry drained a wild 31-foot 3-pointer with seven seconds left. LeBron James showed out too, dropping 31 points and 10 assists in his record-breaking 19th Christmas Day game, as the Lakers edged out the Warriors 115-113 in a nail-biter.

Steph was on fire with 38 points and eight triples, casually hitting tough shots like that baseline 3 with 12 seconds left. But every time he pulled up, LeBron had an answer, matching his energy with a deep bomb of his own to keep the Lakers in control.

Austin Reaves wasn’t just about that game-winner—he balled out with a triple-double: 26 points, 10 boards, and 10 dimes. The win didn’t come easy, though, as the Lakers lost Anthony Davis early to an ankle sprain in the first quarter.

This matchup was giving déjà vu vibes, with LeBron and Steph facing off again like they did on past Christmas games and in Finals showdowns. Steph made history with his 11th Christmas start, joining legends like Kobe and KD, while LeBron grabbed his 11th holiday dub, passing D-Wade for the all-time Christmas wins record. Legends doing legendary things.
