BOX SCORE

Lakers starters played until halfway in the 3rd quarter. No Booker, no Beal, and Durant only played in the first half. Lakers bench was atrocious. Cam Reddish, Christian Wood, and Rui Hachimura combined for 7 points. Collectively they were a -93.

Lmao little bit of a misleading title when the Lakers were up at half with their starters in

But I hope this was the first step in everyone knowing we have depth now

Our bench brought it back to a one point game after KD checked out at the half against Bron and AD. Definitely a bit of artistic license being taken with the title, but certainly not an encouraging performance by the Lakers.

Obviously it's preseason and only means so much, but there's a reason the Lakers game thread was super butthurt lol.

We beat the kings starters without LeBron, AD, or Reaves. It’s just the preseason, guys are definitely not going at a full speed yet. Unless we are meant to believe our bench is better than the kings starters and the suns bench can compete with our starters.
