Β 

The Los Angeles Lakers fall to the Golden State Warriors 101-89 in NBA preseason action after blowing a 20-point lead and committing 30 turnovers! Despite the loss, there were plenty of positives for the Lakers. Walker Kessler impressed in his Lakers debut, finishing with 11 points, 9 rebounds and a +15 in just 16 minutes. Austin Reaves led the way with 28 points and 7 assists in only 25 minutes, continuing to show why he'll be such an important part of this Lakers offense. However, things fell apart in the second half as the Lakers struggled with turnovers, poor three-point shooting and inconsistent execution. Golden State capitalized on LA's mistakes, scoring 26 points off turnovers.
