It did not hold up. Stephen Curry and the Warriors flipped the game in the second quarter and never let it slip away, closing out a 112-95 win to open the Emeritus NBA Cup West Group C.\n\nThe game's defining moment came in the third quarter, when Curry hunted a switch onto Doncic. He dribbled left, stopped on a dime, and crossed Doncic so hard the Lakers star ended up on the floor. Curry stepped back and calmly splashed a three-pointer over him, then celebrated with the Bay Area crowd as the building erupted.\n\nDoncic still finished with 37 points, continuing an early-season run that has him playing at an MVP pace, but it was not enough to prevent the collapse. The loss snapped the Lakers' momentum after a 103-87 road win over the Clippers two nights earlier, when Doncic sat out with back tightness. Los Angeles falls to 4-2 on the season.","published_at":"2026-10-31T17:04:35.057505+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Lakers Star Duo
