Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder discussed the importance of stopping Steph Curry ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers play-in tournament game against the Golden State Warriors.

"We know who the head of the snake is, it's Steph. We got to do our best to contain him. It's gonna be a team effort, not just all the pressure on the guards. ... We got to make sure we keep an eye on him and stay locked in on him at all times," said Anthony Davis.

The Lakers starting backcourt of Schroder and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be tasked with defending Curry.

Curry averaged 23 points in three games against the Lakers this season.

"He's the best shooter who has ever played this game. So, any shot, whatever comes from half court on, it's a good shot for him. At the end of the day, you got to make it as hard as possible and be into him and limit his 3s," said Schroder.

Steve Kerr said that he trusted Curry and Draymond Green to solve any defense the Lakers presented.

"We anticipate they're going to throw the kitchen sink at Steph. Multiple defenders, different matchups, some blitzes, some kind of shadowing, that type of stuff. We've kind of seen everything, Steph has seen everything. Draymond [Green] is probably the key in terms of when they do throw stuff at Steph, Draymond has an answer with all of his screening and dribble handoffs and that sort of thing, so they're fun to watch together."
