Lakers face Warriors without 3 injured starters

Russell, 20, had the procedure in Los Angeles under Dr. Steve Yoon. Lakers forward Julius Randle sat out Wednesday’s game with a hip pointer issue.

Warriors: After all of this early season exposure, these teams don’t finish their series until April 12 in Oakland. With Durant turning 28 in September a few weeks after Ingram turned 19, these two could have a teacher-vs. -pupil rivalry for years to come. That’s a lot of fancy stats to ask a simple question: How much more lethal can this team become when all the new parts really start to get used to one another, say, 60 games from now? The Warriors has made history once again by dishing out 47 assists in a game. The Golden State Warriors eviscerated the LA Lakers in every way by burying them with huge bombs from three-point range, threading the needle on attractive passes for flash plays, and assisting on virtually every shot in the 149-106 victory. The Golden State Warriors are averaging 119.2 points on 50.2 percent shooting and allowing 106.7 points on 43.7 percent shooting.

“I mean 47 is a shocking number but getting 30 every night is not surprising”, Kerr said”. When the season began, Golden State could not move the ball almost as well as they did in the last two years.

“We never miss a beat”, Green said.

Nick Young pulled off an epic game-winning 3-pointer earlier this week. but did it by intercepting the ball from one of his teammates. LOL!

Golden State had 46 assists on November 7, 1981, against Denver. This stretch included big games against San Antonio, Chicago, Oklahoma City, and back-to-back games against Golden State.

Walton waved and smiled as fans cheered and jumped to their feet for a standing ovation when he was introduced before tipoff.

They’re back, and they’re hungry.

“It is a little weird”. After all, William Blake once said “the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom”, so let’s see how wise these teams are after this game. Enjoy the game, and the second-day of turkey day goodies.

LAL: D’Angelo Russell (sore left knee) and Ivica Zubac (D-League assignement) are out.

Lakers veteran guard Jose Calderon, 35, will start in Russell’s absence, while backup guard Marcelo Huertas will play more, too.

These guys right here need to step-up against the Warriors, They just need to play as a team.

The Warriors recorded 31 assists, pushing their ongoing franchise-record of games in which they have posted at least 30 to 10 in a row.

In another National Basketball Association score, Kawhi Leonard scored 30 points, LaMarcus Aldridge added 23, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Charlotte Hornets 119-114 for their seventh straight victory.

The Thunder gave up seven second-chance points in the first quarter, each of them electrifying the Staples Center crowd. Other teams that Golden State has taken down en route to the hot win streak are the Celtics, Raptors, Mavericks, Suns, Bucks, and Pacers.
