Lakers are now 2-1 in preseason after defeating the Kings, 109-101. 13 days left until the regular season starts.
Final: Lakers 109, Kings 101 The Lakers improve to 2-1 this preseason — their best start since the 2020-21 preseason. An impressive win considering the players they’re missing. D’Angelo Russell had 21 points and 8 assists. Gabe Vincent had 18 points. Up next: vs. GSW on Fri.
Halftime: Kings 51, Lakers 50 D'Angelo Russell has 11 points and 5 assists. Taurean Prince has 10 points and 6 rebounds. LA closed the half with Rui Hachimura at center, a look they had yet to use in the preseason. Maxwell Lewis was the only available official roster player who… https://t.co/btsV5VlO2f
First quarter: Lakers 30, Kings 28 Rui Hachimura leads LA with 9 points. D'Angelo Russell has 8 points and 5 assists, including that incredible opening possession dime to Gabe Vincent. LA is just 2 for 7 on 3s (28.6%). Kings made a run to close the quarter and make this close.
Lakers preseason game 3 vs. the #Kings is nearly underway. LeBron James, AD, Austin Reaves, Jarred Vanderbilt, Cam Reddish are all OUT for tonight's game. What are you hoping to see out of this shorthanded Lakers lineup #LakersNation?
The Lakers will be down a host of players against the Kings in their third preseason game. @LakersSBN https://t.co/tdV4lUbX9C
Lakers’ preseason games 1 and 2: https://t.co/9d1oySpCLV
Final: Lakers 129, Nets 126 That was an exciting finish. LA's bench and crowd were on their feet for a while. The rookies hold off the Nets' fourth-quarter surge. Eight players scored in double figures. They made 20 3s. LA improves to 1-1. Up next: vs. SAC on Wednesday.
First quarter: Nets 35, Lakers 34 LA shot 8-17 on 3s in the first. Both of those figures are on the higher side for this core, which is encouraging. D'Angelo Russell has been awesome (14 points, 3 assists). LeBron has been active defensively (one steal, one block, deflections).
Nets forward @BenSimmons25 had 10 points on 4 of 6 shooting and three assists in 14 minutes in exhibition action against the Lakers tonight. https://t.co/68Sg2RMwDh
Third quarter: Lakers 110, Nets 102 LA has scored 34 or more points in each of the three quarters. Seven players are in double figures, led by Rui Hachimura (19 points) and Austin Reaves (18). LA is 18-43 (41.9%) on 3s. LeBron, AD, Austin and DLo are done for the night.
Lakers had 21 assists on 41 made baskets vs. the Warriors on Saturday. In the first half tonight vs. the Nets, they have 16 on their 27 makes. Much better ball movement and flow on that end now that Austin and Bron have joined D-Lo and Gabe as organizing forces offensively.
Nets down 75-61 to the Lakers at the half. Lakers shot 52.9% from the field Dinwiddie: 12 pts (4-5 on 3s) Simmons: 10 pts, 3 asts, steal Thomas: 9 pts. Overall. Simmons is a positive. Thomas' scoring has helped. But the defense, leaving shooters open on screens isn't good
Halftime: Lakers 75, Nets 61 A monster first half offensively for LA. They shot 53% overall and 41% on 3s (12-for-29). D'Angelo Russell and Rui Hachimura each have 14 points. Anthony Davis has 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks. LeBron and Austin Reaves each have 10.

Third quarter: Warriors 95, Lakers 83 Max Christie (10 points), Jalen Hood-Schifino (7 points) and Gabe Vincent (7 points) found their groove in the third. Cam Reddish, Christian Wood and Taurean Prince have had rough debuts, but it's one game. AD and DLo are done for the night.
First quarter: Warriors 29, Lakers 23 Anthony Davis has 9 points. D'Angelo Russell has 8. The Lakers' starters held a minor lead but that quickly evaporated once the bench came in. This version of the bench unit struggled to generate good looks and couldn't defend the paint.
