Golden State Warriors basketball is officially back. On Saturday, the Warriors hosted the team that knocked them out of the playoffs in the spring, the Los Angeles Lakers, for the first of five preseason games.
Preseason outcomes don’t really matter at all, but wins are still a lot more fun than losses, and an undefeated season remains on the table as the Dubs cruised to a 125-108 victory.
All eyes were on Chris Paul, who made his Warriors debut. With Draymond Green sidelined by an ankle injury, Steve Kerr has been spared a difficult starting lineup decision for a while, and Paul slid ride into the lineup alongside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Kevon Looney.
