Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors Live Stream: Watch NBA 2015 Preseason Basketball
Showtime meets the defending champions in the preseason
Both with 2-4 records in the preseason, the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors meet at the Honda Center in the National Basketball Association.
The match is on October 22, 2015 at 10:00 PM ET.
With different expectations heading into the regular season, expect an exciting match between the two teams in this preseason.
The Lakers are still trying to continue rebuilding as they are transitioning through the Kobe Bryant era to younger players like D'Angelo Russell, Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson.
However, with the guidance of Bryant as he is set to return this year, expectations should be set that the Lakers are going for the smoothest transition they can get as they try to return to their elite status.
On the other hand, the Warriors are the defending champions and though their current record doesn't show, they are one of the strongest teams in the league.
The back-court duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson with back-ups like Leandro Barbosa and Shaun Livingston has been deadly and was a big factor in their title run – and expect it to be on display in this match.
Having met earlier in the pre-season, the Lakers hold a win over the Warriors with a final score of 85-70.
The match was halted late in the third quarter due to unplayable conditions on the court, but the Lakers showed enough to display that they are up to the challenge against any team in the league.
In that match, Curry led the Warriors with 19 points and three rebounds, while also dishing out four assists.
On the Purple and Gold side, Clarkson was the best player as he had 17 points and five rebounds while shooting an impressive 7-of-9 from the field.
Expect the same players to be available for the match and enjoy at least 48 minutes of basketball.
