The pivotal NBA play-in tournament matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers lived up to its billing. The game got extra chippy, and it's no surprise that one such play involved LeBron James and Draymond Green.

The Lakers star went down in a heap after Green caught him in the eye on a dunk attempt:

The ensuing play was reviewed for a flagrant foul, but was subsequently ruled as a mere common foul. Right call or not, the result didn't stop the Lakers from taking the W against the Dubs.

LeBron James was clearly playing hobbled after that play, but he didn't let it affect him as he led the charge to close out the Warriors and his long-time rival in Stephen Curry.

James finished the contest with a triple-double line of 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists for the Lakers. Anthony Davis led the team in scoring, piling up 25 points and 12 rebounds.

The Lakers secure their playoff spot, setting up a matchup with the Phoenix Suns and LeBron's good buddy Chris Paul.

The Golden State Warriors meanwhile will be left to fight for their playoff lives, as they face off against the Memphis Grizzlies for the 8th and final seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
