A battle right out of the West, the Golden State Warriors came out on top as they faced the Los Angeles Lakers in the preseason game. And with how the game went, the Warriors may have something to look forward to this season.
The Warriors coaching staff landed a gem in Chris Paul this offseason after trading away Jordan Poole. Paul, who had been on the opposite side of the court of Curry, finally hit the hardwood floor together.
Given that it was a preseason game, the stars did not play major minutes during the matchup. LeBron James did not suit up for the Lakers but Anthony Davis surely got some playing time for the game. As for the Warriors, Stephen Curry and Chris Paul finally got some official playing time together. And it wasn?t disappointing, given that the Warriors came out on top with a final score of 125-108.
After the game, LeBron James and Stephen Curry shared a hug and a few laughs at half court. While the two were talking, Lakers star forward Anthony Davis dived in and tried to dap up Curry.
Unfortunately for Davis, he was left hanging for quite a while before Curry realized that Davis had his hand up to greet him.
