The Lakers and Warriors met up in Vegas on Tuesday night in preseason action as both teams get closer to the regular season. The game was highlighted by the debut of prized Center Walker Kessler, who, in limited minutes, was as good as advertised (11 points, 9 rebounds), and along with Austin Reaves (28 points), the Luka-less Lakers had another strong first-half performance. But the second half was a different story as the back end of the roster proved ill-equipped to generate anything on either end of the floor (26 total points), as the Lakers' sloppy play (30 turnovers) led to the vanishing of a double-digit lead to a double-digit defeat, a 101-89 loss to the Warriors. Check in with the guys from the LFB on who played, who didn't, and whether the team that was out there looked good taking on Golden State. Does what happens in the preseason in Vegas stay in Las Vegas?
