What happened: Nneka Ogwumike paces all scorers with 12 points, adding 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Dearica Hamby follows with 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.
Why it matters: The early edge gives Los Angeles control before the second half. Golden State needs additional scoring beyond its early output to close the gap.
By the numbers: Ogwumike: 12 PTS, 8 REB, 2 AST, game-high 12 points; Stokes: 7 PTS, 7 REB; Hamby: 7 PTS, 4 REB, 1 AST
What to watch: Watch whether Golden State trims the deficit coming out of the break.
