The Warriors are one game closer to the regular season following their 126-93 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
Stephen Curry sat out the game to rest, and a number of other Dubs missed the game due to injury or illness. As a result, the Warriors were overmatched physically from the opening tip. After Marquese Chriss threw down a monster jam on the game’s first possession off of a pick-and-roll with D’Angelo Russell, the Lakers took control of the game with 11 unanswered points and later added another 9-0 run in the first period.
