Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors prediction

The Los Angeles Lakers seem to lose whenever coming off a nice win, so I don't expect much from them after beating the Bulls. The Golden State Warriors have shown the ability to step up in big games, and they're a bounce away from beating the Hawks and Kings since returning from their absence. The Los Angeles Lakers have owned the Warriors these last few seasons, but I just don't trust them, especially on the road or against good teams. Only laying a bucket. I lean Warriors.
