Warriors vs. Lakers score: Live NBA play-in game updates as Los Angeles, Golden State meet for No. 7 seed

The most anticipated matchup of the NBA’s play-in tournament is here as the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers have tipped off their showdown to determine who will lay claim to the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference and who will have to play on Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. 

Golden State took the first of three matchups against Los Angeles during the regular season but it was the Lakers who, rather comfortably, won their final two meetings of the year, giving them a 2-1 advantage over the Warriors heading into this tilt. With three quarters of play in the books, it is the Warriors who hold a narrow lead over the Lakers as these two teams move to crunch time.
