LeBron James and Stephen Curry, two all-time greats, carrying their teams and the rivalry on their shoulders. Every battle had that &ldquo;who&rsquo;s the best?&rdquo; energy. And heading into Thursday night&rsquo;s showdown, with Luka Doncic and Jimmy Butler also in the mix, the stage was set for another heavyweight classic.<\/p><p>But something different happened this time.<\/p><p>Yes, LeBron was out there doing LeBron things. Curry lit it up like only he can. But when the dust settled on a wild, high-octane 123&ndash;116 Warriors win, this wasn&rsquo;t just another chapter in the Steph vs. LeBron saga. This game might go down as the night when two young guns &ndash; Brandin Podziemski and Austin Reaves. The two young guns officially announced they are ready to carry this rivalry forward.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brandin Podziemski Steps Up <\/h2><p>The first quarter started like nobody expected. LeBron? Held scoreless. Butler? Also zero. Curry and Luka? Just four points each. <\/p><p>But it was Brandin Podziemski who torched the Lakers in the first half. The 22-year-old dropped a season-high 22 points before halftime, including a half-court buzzer-beating three.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">PODZIEMSKI BEATS THE HALFTIME BUZZER&hellip; FROM HALF &#128562;<br><br>He's got 22 PTS, 6 3PM at the break on TNT! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BUG8n0mp3w\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/BUG8n0mp3w<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1907995325211558335?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 4, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Austin Reaves Catches Fire Late<\/h2><p>While Podziemski was the star of the first half, the second belonged to Austin Reaves.
