Regardless of the result, the Warriors are headed to the Play-In Tournament as the 10th seed in the Western Conference, and the team felt it necessary to rest Curry on the front end of a back-to-back schedule.
The two-time MVP attended the game in street clothes, including wearing the Nike LeBron X, which first came out in 2012. Of course, it did not go unnoticed by Lakers forward LeBron James , who gave a three-word reaction .
"Out the vault!" said James during his brief chat with Curry before tip-off.
The 38-year-old Curry has been turning heads with his choices of sneakers since he mutually parted ways with Under Armour in November.

The four-time champion has rocked the sneakers of other NBA legends , including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant , Shaquille O'Neal, and Penny Hardaway, and most recently, Dwyane Wade .
To recall, Curry used to have a contract with Nike. The company, however, fumbled in re-signing him to an extension in 2013 due to an infamously terrible sales pitch, which involved former Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison, who was then an executive for Nike.
Aside from Curry, the Warriors also battled the Lakers without Kristaps Porzingis , Moses Moody , Quinten Post , and Al Horford due to various injuries.
Seven players scored in double digits for Golden State, led by Brandin Podziemski and Nate Williams with 17 points apiece.
