The Los Angeles Lakers fell to 0-5 in the preseason after losing to the Golden State Warriors, 111-99.
LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis all finally played together for the first time, though it didn’t end in the way L.A. would’ve liked. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green didn’t play for the Warriors.
Los Angeles jumped to a 32-24 lead after the first quarter because Golden State’s shooters couldn’t open the lid off the rim.
However, the tide turned in the second quarter, and Golden State climbed back into the deficit to trail 55-53 at the midway point.
The Lakers had solid shooting numbers through the first 24 minutes, but it all collapsed from there. Shots stopped falling in the third, and Golden State once again shrugged off the cold shoulders and caught fire from deep.
Both teams emptied the bench for the final quarter, where the Warriors prevailed.
Here are three takeaways from the game:
