All of the Warriors' All-Stars didn't show up for this Christmas encounter with the Lakers. Stephen Curry struggled the entire night; he scored just 15 points in the match, well below his season average, and shot a very poor 5-17 from the floor and 2-8 from the 3PT line.

Kevin Durant scored 21 points on 5-13 shooting from the floor. Klay Thompson had one of his worst nights in recent years, scoring only 5 points on 2-7 shooting from the floor.

Draymond Green was consistently being dared to shoot on offense. He got 4 points on 2-7 shooting from the field.

The Lakers defense frequently tried to double team on Steph and Durant, and that left Green and Iguodala wide open on most possessions. Iguodala scored a game-high 23 points for the Warriors and looked like the most dangerous player for the team.
