The NBA teams kicked off their preseason games as part of the preparation for the new season. Earlier Timberwolves defeated Dallas 104-96 and later Golden State won 125:108 against the LA Lakers.
Lakers didn’t feature any of their main players, giving them extra rest before the start of the campaign and some played only 15 minutes and LeBron James – none. Warriors on the other hand debuted their new-look lineup with Chris Paul alongside Stephen Curry in the backcourt with Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney in the frontcourt as Draymond Green recovers from an ankle injury.
