The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Golden State Warriors for a ticket to the playoffs later tonight. One of the biggest threats to the defending NBA champions is scoring champion Steph Curry.

According to Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma, his team has the appropriate fear that is needed at this stage of the season. “We’re playing someone that could potentially be the MVP of the NBA season. I think for us we have appropriate fear,” he said.

“I think that’s always important when you’re into the playoff having that type of mental mind state or going into certain games like this understanding that you can be beat and you can catch somebody on hot night.

“So for us we had a very good practice today, great film session. Everyone seems to be locked in to what we need to do and understanding how Golden State works and how they operate We’re excited for the challenge.”
