GAME LEADERS
The Warriors suffered their third loss of the preseason tonight, falling to the Lakers 85-70 after the game was called in the third quarter due to dangerous court conditions. Stephen Curry put on a show in limited minutes, scoring 19 points, including five three-pointers.
The two teams played it close throughout the opening quarter, with neither side able to gain more than five points of separation. The Lakers jumped out to a 10-5 lead within the first three minutes, but a Brandon Rush lay-in followed by three consecutive three-pointers from Stephen Curry brought Golden State right back into the lead with a 16-13 advantage. Things would only get tighter from there, as the two sides headed into the second quarter tied at 31. After Jason Thompson tied things up again at 47-47 with 3:20 remaining in the first half, the Lakers finished the second quarter on a 15-6 run to take a 62-53 lead into halftime.
