Player grades from Lakers’ Game 5 preseason loss to Warriors

The Los Angeles Lakers are still winless in the preseason.

Despite having LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook available against the Golden State Warriors, who were without Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, L.A. is 0-5 with one game left.

James and company opened the first quarter with an eight-point lead as the Warriors struggled to buy a 3-point shot. However, Golden State’s shooters didn’t stay cold for long. Jordan Poole and others began finding their shots late in the second quarter.

James, Davis and Westbrook had some flashes to build on after this game, but it wasn’t enough to hold a lead for a win.

Here are the player grades for the Lakers:
