Despite the LA Lakers leading by 17 points in the third quarter, the Golden State Warriors kept knocking on the door and eventually blew it wide open to take the lead late in the game.

Many expected the hosts to win this game with ease. After such an incredible result, the NBA community couldn't help but react in kind on social media.

These are just some of their tweets:

Dennis Schroder was dominant during the first half of this game for the LA Lakers. The 27-year-old recorded an impressive 25 points on 53% from the field against the Golden State Warriors.

Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Davis also put in good performances for the Lakers and got buckets to cut down the Warriors' momentum on several occasions during the game.

Here are more Twitter reactions to the game:

Kelly Oubre Jr. was one of the Golden State Warriors' best players tonight. The 25-year-old made great plays on both ends, working harder than anyone else on the floor to get his team extra possession.

Late in the fourth quarter, when the Warriors were level with the LA Lakers, it was Oubre who forced the turnover before scoring a bucket to give his team the lead.

Here are more reactions to the close encounter:

Overall, this was an incredibly entertaining and unpredictable game.

For the Golden State Warriors, this clash will prove to be a source of motivation. Coming back from a 17-point deficit to win against the reigning champions is no mean feat, and doing so will give them the belief that they can win just about any game in the NBA.

However, for the LA Lakers, there is a lot to be disappointed about. The franchise had an early lead but left the door open for far too long and suffered for it immensely.

The team seemed almost casual at times, and this match will serve as a reminder that they need to consistently work hard in games during the regular season.
