Warriors defeated Lakers 132-74 to finish preseason with an undefeated 6-0 record

Through the first five games of the preseason, the Golden State Warriors have reeled off five straight wins, including a victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Las Vegas on Tuesday. To secure an undefeated preseason record, the Warriors needed to beat the Lakers again on Friday at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

With Steph Curry sidelined, the Warriors still put on a great performance to end the preseason in style. Six members of the Warriors scored 12 or more points as the Warriors cruised to a 58-point victory, 132-74, on Friday night.

Jonathan Kuminga led the Warriors with 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field with four rebounds in 19 minutes. After missing Tuesday’s game due to a broken nose, sophomore guard Brandin Podziemski led the Warriors off the bench with 16 points on 6-of-15 shooting from the field with four rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes.

Buddy Hield continued his strong preseason with 14 points with four made three-pointers to go along with four assists and four rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench.

With the opportunity to start against the rookie, rookie Bronny James scored 17 points on 7-of-17 shooting from the field with four rebounds and an assist in 35 minutes for the Lakers on Friday.

The Warriors will now prepare for the start of the regular season on Wednesday, October 23 against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Warriors will play two games on the road to start the 2023-2024 season before returning to the Bay Area for the Oct. 27 home opener against the Los Angeles Clippers.
