SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The Los Angeles Lakers won Game 1 of their highly anticipated Western Conference semifinal series against the Golden State Warriors 117-112 on Tuesday night. The series was billed as LeBron James vs. Stephen Curry, but in Game 1 it was James' co-star stealing the show. Anthony Davis was at his best, impacting both sides of the ball with 30 points, 23 rebounds and four blocks.
