What happened: The Golden State Warriors have converted 7 of 13 attempts from three-point range while shooting just 2 of 15 from two-point range. The stark shooting split has left Golden State trailing the Los Angeles Lakers 40-28 in ongoing play.

Why it matters: The heavy perimeter distribution highlights Golden State's ongoing difficulty generating offense inside the paint against Los Angeles. Inability to finish inside the arc continues to place outsized pressure on perimeter efficiency to remain competitive.

What to watch: Watch whether Golden State can adjust shot selection and attack the rim as the game progresses.
