GAME LEADERS
The Warriors moved to 2-0 in the preseason after beating the Lakers 120-105 in Los Angeles tonight. The Dubs led from start to finish, and were paced by Klay Thompson’s game-high 25 points and five three-pointers, while Stephen Curry added 20 points and six assists.
Golden State led from start to finish throughout the contest, and the result was never really in doubt. They closed the first half on a 14-2 run to push their lead to 18, their largest of the game at that point. 14 of the 15 Warriors to play in the game managed to score, and the bench totaled 52 points overall.
The difference in the game was Golden State’s ability to shoot the ball from distance. The Warriors converted 12-of-21 three-pointers, whereas the Lakers only made 1-of-11. Klay Thompson (5-of-6) and Stephen Curry (3-of-4) were their usual sharpshooting selves.
