TWO titans of the West clashed. Only one walked away with a playoff spot.
It was big Finals energy in the one-game Western conference play-in tournament, with fans keenly watching the showdown between the two teams. Los Angeles came in cold at the first half, but King James sparked some life into the game and pulled them to within two at the end of the first frame.
In a down-to-the-wire win, LeBron pulled off a three-pointer to send the Warriors packing.

Even on Twitter, James triumphed over Curry. Minutes after the end of the game, LeBron was already trending on Twitter. Curry was, too, but the volume of tweets with his name on them trailed considerably behind. Of course, not all tweets about LeBron (or Curry) were positive — but hey, numbers are numbers.
Face-off!
And at the end
What a show
Give it up for Steph
But you gotta hand it to LeBron
