The Los Angeles Lakers, with LeBron James sidelined and their new recruits still getting up to speed, snapped a three-game skid with a 109-103 victory over the NBA-champion Golden State Warriors on Saturday.

Dennis Schroder led the Lakers with 26 points. Rui Hachimura added 16 and D'Angelo Russell — newly arrived in a trade deadline deal — chipped in 15 with five rebounds and six assists. Anthony Davis had a quiet scoring night with just 13 points on five-of-19 shooting.

James's absence with a sore ankle less than a week after he became the NBA's all-time leading scorer and the injury absence of Warriors' star Stephen Curry robbed the contest of some glamour, but there was plenty of drama in the back-and-forth battle.

The Warriors took the lead on Jordan Poole's three-point play midway through the fourth, but Russell answered with a pair of baskets, drawing a foul and converting the free throw on the second.

It was tied again with 5:01 to play, but a Hachimura three-pointer put the Lakers up for good.

While he was not an offensive force, Davis grabbed 13 rebounds and came up with two of his three blocked shots in the final two minutes.

"One thing about me, I'm able to shift my mind on the defensive end," Davis said. "So I'm not getting foul calls, I'm not making shots, I never give up on the other end. Rebounds, blocked shots, whatever my team needs me to do."

The Miami Heat pulled off a second nail-biting victory in as many nights, beating the Magic 107-103 in overtime in Orlando.
