Anthony Davis, LeBron James lead Lakers past Warriors

Anthony Davis and LeBron James combined for 61 points as part of double-doubles, Dorian Finney-Smith contributed a 3-pointer to a game-breaking surge early in the fourth quarter and the Los Angeles Lakers ran off from the Golden State Warriors for a 118-108 victory Saturday night in San Francisco.

Davis finished with 36 points and 13 rebounds -- both game highs -- and James chipped in with 25 points and a game-high 12 assists for the Lakers, who improved to 2-0 this season against the rival Warriors, with both wins coming on the road.

Andrew Wiggins paced Golden State with 20 points on a night when Stephen Curry missed all eight of his second-half shots, made just two 3-pointers overall and finished with 13 points.

The game was tightly contested, with Los Angeles up just 91-85 in the second minute of the fourth quarter, before James converted a layup to trigger a 9-2 burst that opened a 13-point lead. James had a second basket in the run, sandwiching the 3-pointer by Finney-Smith, who was facing the Warriors for the first time as a Laker.

In losing for the third time in their last four games, the Warriors got no closer than nine after that as Davis capped his big night with 10 late points.

Davis, who also had three steals, shot 13-for-23 and James 12-for-25 for the Lakers, who finished at 54.7 percent from the field. Ten of Davis' points came on 12 free-throw attempts.

Austin Reaves aided the visitors' cause with 16 points, Dalton Knecht had 13 and Max Christie added 11 for Los Angeles, which followed up its impressive home win over the Boston Celtics with a third straight victory.

Brandin Podziemski had 17 points, Gary Payton II 12 and Dennis Schroder 10 for Golden State, which outscored the visitors 48-30 on 3-pointers. Six different Warriors connected on at least a pair of threes, led by Podziemski's three in six tries.

Curry, who shot 4-for-17, found time for a team-high nine assists.
