Golden State falls to New Look Lakers
In preseason action, the Lakers notched their first victory 94 - 80 over the Golden State Warriors. The win was jumpstarted with a 23 - 2 run to end the third quarter. This game marked the first battle against former Laker Derek Fisher (we're going to miss you fish!) who scored 15 points in the contest.
The story in this game is not Kobe's 23 points, but rather his eight assists. All who had PT in this game scored except Ike Nwankwo whom I've never heard of and didn't know he was on our roster. In any case, the Lakers shot just under 40% which is far from desirable but the win was the result. 22 assists on 31 made field goals for a percentage of 71%. Not a bad team play statistic.
