Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors will try to even their Western Conference playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, May 8. The game will be live streamed on Sling, which offers half off the first month, and on DirecTV Stream (free trial).

The Lakers are widely considered to be one of the best defensive teams in a league that has rarely been more offense-oriented.

The seventh-seeded Lakers held Golden State under 100 points for only the fifth time all season in a 30-point blowout win.

The Lakers’ opponents are shooting an NBA-low 41.3% in the postseason, and they give most of the credit to Anthony Davis. The big man has blocked a whopping 37 shots in LA’s nine playoff games while altering countless others and playing with the defensive fire of his best NBA seasons, including the Lakers’ 2020 championship run in the bubble.

When is Lakers-Warriors?

The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors play in an NBA playoff game at 9 p.m. (10 p.m. ET) on Monday, May 8.
