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.

Ik it’s preseason and we won by 25 but why tf was Nurkic constantly going at AD on offense

Like bro got blocked 5 times and kept going at him 😂 Can’t happen during reg season and playoffs

I was about to ask, how did Nurkic go 1 for 11 in 20 mins. The AD effect.

Think about it: No Booker, Beal. The man thought he needed to pick up scoring. He picked wrong.

I think it’s because he moved from fourth scoring option to second. I don’t mind him trying things in preseason, but I hope he learned not to do that.

Nurk def decided to get his shots while he could. He knows with Book and Beal he ain’t gonna get a chance to throw up as many shots most of the time. Still was funny asf.

Nurk is going to be our 4-5th scoring option. I like him going at AD. He’s a tough dude and like him playing with confidence.

At least Nurkic tried, Ayton woukd just be in the corner giving AD free dunks
