Defensively, the Warriors were sloppy and looked like they underestimated the young talent on the Lakers roster. Making the game a lot closer than what it should have been a few week ago. Klay Thompson shot was 6 of 12 scoring 20 points the first game. Expect more shots from Thompson in tonight’s matchup.
Don’t expect underwhelming play on either side of the ball from Golden State tonight. Look for the Warriors to play spoiler on Kobe Bryant night at Staples.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are 10-17 this year, but have showed signs of promise for the future. The Lakers young core of Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kusma are going to be key pieces in the future. Right now, the Lakers are still trying to figure it out.
Los Angeles shot 49.5 percent from the floor and 37 percent from three in the first game against the Warriors. If Los Angeles is going to keep this game close, they must rebound the ball better against Golden State. The Lakers were out rebounded 62-45 in the overtime loss to Golden State.
