LeBron James netted 19 points as Los Angeles Lakers defeated Golden State Warriors 117-91 in James' 1,3000th regular-season appearance on Sunday night.

James became one of sox Los Angeles players to net in double figures in a game that was not in doubt.

"Our starters played terrific,'' Lakers coach Frank Vogel said, according to Associated Press. "They had a mindset to make sure they took care of business against a team that stole one from us the last time.''

"We remember getting up big last time and then coming back,'' he said. "We wanted to make our mark early and just keep our foot on their neck throughout the game.''

Kyle Kuzma had 12 points and 11 rebounds for his eighth double-double this season, while Morris and Alex Caruso each scored a season-high 13 points.

The defending NBA champions had dropped five of six since Anthony Davis suffered a right calf strain on Feb. 14, but have won their last two.
