Los Angeles Lakers Vs Golden State Warriors Full Game Highlights Oct 5, 2025 NBA Preseason TODAY

This is the first preseason game for Golden State. The second one for the Lakers Friday night in Phoenix against the Suns. I suppose I’m required to give who won or lost. Not that it matters, but the Suns did win that. So, Gabe Vincent, who did not play Friday, gets the eighton gate eight, the new addition, knocks down his first shot. He’s already made more field goals than the other night, but he wasn’t looking to score. A different level threat at that position. That’s what he can do. 15t jump shot. He’s an offensive machine. 16 points a game for his career. Another weapon for the Lakers up front. There’s a defensive weapon and Vanderbilt with the steal. Vincent lines it up and knocks down a three. So, a nice quick start for the Lakers. And a jump ball. So, good defense. And that is going to be critical for this Laker team to turn around and and become a top defensive team. Well, and that’s what Vanderbilt does. You look at him, he shoots the gap against Steph, starting on him and then even on the inbounds right there, he is back full in defensive mode. That’s what the Lakers love what he brings and how he does it. So Vanderville forcing the jump ball has the clear height advantage here. He’s healthy and that’s that is always the key for him and everyone else. And DeAndre Eaton has knocked down his first two shots. Here’s Moody. Moody on the drive and finish. Impressive move from Moody who had a really fine season last year. looking to build on that and they want to see him be more aggressive and assertive on plays like that. He saw there was a big on the close out. He could swing through, beat him to the rim. Ball deflected out. He’ll stay down this end. Lakers have it. 13 on the shot clock. Yeah, look, Moses Moody in this in this system is going to be primarily spending a lot of time catching and shooting threes, but they know he can do more of that with his quickness, his length. If you can attack the closeout defender and get an easy one, take it. Here’s Morabia. Fouled by Jimmy Butler. Morabia, of course, spent most of his early career with the Grizzlies. Then got traded meant the stars. Well, and that’s the thing. You look around this league. There are so many players that once you learn how to play around the stars, everybody wants you. And they think he’s one of those young players. Couldn’t quite get the timing right on that lop. Golden State comes the other way. Last year they won 48 games regular season. got to the second round as Vajki can’t get it to go. Hatimora the rebound. [Music] [Applause] Gave Vincent. Another role player where they just hope to be healthy. There’s Draymond. Draymond Green. Nice save. Finds Curry. Advance. Pensky. Goes right at Vincent. Butler gathers. Shot. Blocked with a foul. Got a piece of it. by Butler, one of the best at drawing fouls, will go to the line. And the heat of a few guys would have caught that ball right there and not taken it directly off. But if he does that, he’s going to get contested and probably miss a very difficult layup. Instead, all that balance, the two-foot jump stop, he waits, lets the traffic clear, knows he can get to the other side of the rim and do what he does best. And what this team desperately needs, someone that can get easy points at the line. Well, and and if you look at the start this game, you look at what Moody has done, Pajimsky, uh, you know, the young players on this team, that’s when we talked about in the open, they’re going to dictate the elevation. If they start to make the reads and the plays that they’re supposed to, that’s going to open up thing for the Sars. Well, Kajki has a chance to be a starter for both these teams. Really, the spots on the roster are pretty much set. Now, where you stand in the rotation or perhaps a starting job, that also could could change according to how things go. This for Golden State, there’s a good chance this could be their starting lineup. Draymond Green at the center. He had excellent numbers when he played the five last year. Pass deflected by Moody. Butler with a save, but Hachima picks it up. Some pretty good defensive intensity early on. Arabia can’t hit that. Vanderbilt grabs it. one of the best offensive rebounding small forwards in this league. Vanderbilt is is exactly right there. His activity level creates the extra possession and then he ends up being the recipient of that. But that’s just his work on the first part of that possession to come up with the extra shot. Great cut, body control and gets it to go. He has not been healthy the last couple of years. Heel injury, foot injury. This is now here with the Lakers. JJ Reic said he was one of the bright spots Friday night. Working on his shooting. He’s done a lot of work in the off season. That has never been a strength, but he is a defensive disruptor. As you see right now, Curry gets by him though. Easily floats it up and good. And those are the things that you’re okay with Steph. You want to pressure him so he doesn’t get off a three. You want to limit his attempts, not necessarily how many he makes. If he attempts, he’s going to make, but right there forcing him to drive. You’re okay with that. You’re okay with that type of defensive intense. Steph Curry’s handling the ball in that tight window right in front of him. Never worried, never bothered. Knows he can get wherever he needs to with that creative handle. Vincent, not sure if that was a pass or a shot. Either way, it didn’t go down. Butler had it, held on to it despite the intentions of Vinsler. Moody walks into a three-pointer. [Music] There’s some some actual real intensity right now for a preseason start. The worst thing that could happen in a preseason game is you don’t show the effort and then film and practice dictate that. Vincent with the foul reached in. Well, JJ Reick was talking about for tonight conditioning, Reggie, which he was talking about changing into the floor. You saw stories where the Lakers are doing this conditioning drill, the sprint work that you don’t see a lot in NBA training camp practices anymore because he wanted to show more mental and physical toughness. And here’s a nice ovation for the new warrior. Alford, one of the most respected players of his generation by coaches, by teammates, by opponents, by fans. In his first year, he signed a two-year free agent deal. He’s going to be 40 in June. He hopes he turns 40 when the Warriors are playing in the NBA finals. Of course, that the question for Golden State. They’ve got some great players, but they’re all 35 plus the four top guys we’re talking about. Curry Green. A little miscommunication there. Butler and Horford. So, the key for them is is since probably like the early 2000s. And so when you’re going to have to keep guys healthy and Jimmy Butler with the and one opportunity. Excellent pass from the ball in this system. Thunder completes the three-point play. By the way, we talked about Al Horford. He’s wearing number 20. He was 42 in Boston. Can’t wear 42 here in the Bay Area. The great Nate Thurman, the Hall of Famer. His number retired. Loravia chasing. Loravia can’t get it. Payton hauls in the offensive board and then a tough low pass to catch. Draymond Green the runner and the tip off the miss. Good second effort. Probably won’t see these starters play in the second half so they can go all out here in the first half. [Music] Butler chasing Loravian. Little too aggressive. So Jimmy Butler picks up his first number. More substitution. Brian James. Dalton connect. Bonnie James in his second year. Got some great numbers in the GLeague as tries to continue to get his game to grow and also obviously played 27 games for the Lakers last year. didn’t shoot the ball well, but they see progress. Oh, nice catch. Not an easy play there as Larabia made made the pass. Well, and that’s what they want to see, especially with Luca, with LeBron and that pick and roll and Steph gets free. But that’s what DeAndre A brings. If he can stretch the floor and knock down jumper, he is in a tremendous roll threat. Much more aggressive looking for a shot. You know JJ Reic last year they were talking about you know he didn’t want to play bigs like he had almost like a disdain for big steps some early James who obviously is going to be 41 in December what they did last year both made all NBA second team after this many years at this age was remarkable it is but it also is a testament to their cont their conditioning their approach to the game their consistency and how they work out that’s what you see as they get older [Music] Shot clock down to three. Lorabia nice spin moveky. Excellent defense there. Not going to get it off in time. 24 second violation. That’s some good Warrior defense. Mike, I want to go back to that play where Steph got the layup off the Al Horford. It reminds me of when they had Andrew Bogen. You wouldn’t call him a playmaker, but you can run the offense through him. He knows how to hit a back cut. He knows how to make the reads. There is another facilitator, especially as a big that the Warriors have. Draymond Green off the bounce. Ronnie James trying to guard him up top. Curry catch, fire, connects. [Music] Oh, he looks like certainly not the first preseason game for Steph Curry. The way that his his stroke looks right now, that was an inverted twoman game. He set the screen and was rewarded in a non-g guaranteed contract. So, he’s going to be here preseason, but because all these crazy salary cap rules, they’re going to have to wave him and then resign him again in November. But, he’s going to have a real role on this team with his brother. I think he has some job security. Him and him and Thanasses have some job security. I just got to put it out there. Rightfully so. Well, look, this guy led the league in three-point percentage last year. So, it’s not like they’re doing a a step of favor here. Steph Curry in this system is going to have a lot of success. And he gives Steve Kerr another veteran option that’s smart, that can shoot it, and gives it more depth. Nate can’t get it to go. Harford quick outlet. You although obviously not playing tonight. Curry has it. Quick catch, quick fire. Boy, he is in he isn’t even I can’t even say preseason early form. A spectacular start. Looks in great rhythm. [Music] Bonnie James turns it over. Good defense. Curry a little too fancy takes full responsibility. [Applause] When he just hit two deep threes without touching the bottom of the net, he probably like to have this one back in on that layup, that turnover. But look at him right there. How quickly he gets it out of his hand. And Rich, I think also he’s probably thinking what we said, he’s not going to be out there that long. So he is hunting even more aggressively probably than he normally would at the start, but he didn’t get there in time. So he comes out. He got a nice ovation. Of course, it was kind of the drama of the off season for Golden State about him resigning. It was a restricted free agent, but signed a two-year deal. Be very fascinating to see his role and how it all plays out. Here’s RJ Davis, the rookie from North Carolina, who’s committed to the game. Buddy Hill comes up with a steal. Took it away from Nate Williams. Five turnovers for the Lakers. Butler kicks it out. Heel wide open. [Applause] He in his second year with Golden State. I don’t know if you guys saw Jimmy Butler wave off Buddy Heled after he missed it, but that’ll be a good one in the replay. Well, those two have a fun relationship. Butler always teasing heel. Shot slotted by Mford. Davis shot attempt. Four on the shot clock. Connect way off and Butler to rebound. Tell you what, the Warriors defense has been tenacious. You don’t say that in preseason very often. Butler looking to post up the rookie. Draymond Green. Blocked by Eightton and a couple of blocks the other night. Green gets it back from Harford but can’t complete it. [Music] Connect. Ronnie James. Butler throws it inside. Heel this time finishes it off. [Applause] [Music] Jimmy Davis, who had an excellent career in North Carolina, gets it off to Bronny James. Floats it up and draws the foul. A very active DeAndre Aton. All right, legs. But you look at Aton has he’s averaged a double double in each of his first seven years, but he got a buyout from Portland to sign here. What What went arry? Well, I’m not going to say that there’s not some curiosity into his approach. Um I I would say that for DeAndre Aiden, it was very similar. He wanted to be on a team where he could be the focal point. He got there, it wasn’t a great mix, and now he has an opportunity to be a contributor similar to he was in his Phoenix days. He says it’s the biggest opportunity of his career. He’s aware of the talk out there and knows that he’s got a lot to prove this year. Gary Payton is in the game. Pat Spencer’s in the game. Payton right away. First touch. The veteran knocks it down. They resign him again. Pton such a a wonderful and tangible player. Here’s Nate Williams. Former Rocket drives on Spencer. Goes in hard. Corinford right there with a help defense. Williams gets it back. deflected by Payton. Jonathan Kaminga now in the game along you forget that he’s an elite backline defender. He can either play above the room for a block or positionally get his body in the way to create traffic and draw a charge. He’s just so smart as your anchor on the baseline. Foul called but healed a snack day. Archbishop Stephanac High School. Terrific college career see to part of the our broadcast family with the NBA. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Nine-point Golden State lead. [Music] Spencer. Good help there from Vanderbilt. Kaminga has the height advantage. Gets past Davis inside. Good help from Jackson Hayes, but a foul. And Kaminga will shoot. Injuries to their team, but then also why you struggled to make him as a part of the rotation as you would like. So, this is his fifth year. It’s hard to believe it’s already 5 years. He’s only 23 years old. The seventh pick back in 2021, and they still need him to play a role. Now, he wants to start. He wants to finish. He wants to be a focal point. So, it’s it’s him finding some kind of niche here right now for this team because they they’ve got a lot of depth. I will say Go ahead. Go ahead, Tim. I was just going to say it puts him in a conundrum and we talked to Steve Kerr about this before the game because of the tenantizing talent and the athletic ability that he represents that they don’t really have on this roster. He can make plays against elite defenders that other guys on their team can’t make just because he’s so explosive. So, if he can button up the details and polish his game and add maturity to his game, Richard, I think there’s an absolute need for him in this rotation if they really want to compete and contend. Spencer draws the foul. So, some more free throws coming up with 226 remaining here in this first quarter. Legs, you know, one one thing that can also affect a player’s mentality. You win that championship early in your career. You win that championship. So the things left for you are can you get paid and how many times you could be an all-star, how can you be an allNBA. So when you get that championship, you know, under your belt pretty early, now all of a sudden your focal point might tweak into what can I be? What can I accomplish individually? And I think that’s something that I think we saw a little bit with Jordan Pool. We’ve seen it with players over the course of being with a championship team younger and then wanting, you know, bigger things for themselves. If you saw the difference in the playoffs last year, first round Houston, he was basically out of the rotation, but then Steph Curry gets hurt game one of the second round. He winds up averaging 21 a game in the fivegame series against the Timberwolves with a 30-point game. And I give him a lot of credit for for mentally staying with it in that situation for a young player. I mean, when he stood up in the game when Steph Curry went down, I saw a cloud of dust fly up down there. He had been sitting there so long and he’s still so young even though he’s got 5 years in. 23 years old. Going to cough and travel there. Vincent inside, poked away by Kaminga. That’s what they love to see defense from him. This is all tied up. Decides to shoot it. Can’t get it to fall. Jackson Hayes. Lakers last year won 50 games. Number three in the Western Conference. Vanderbilt knocks down the three. And boy, what a difference that will make if he can knock down threes. Well, Rich and I had a side our first side glance of the year right there because listen, if if that shot’s going in, that’s house money right there for Vanderbilt because of all the other things he does to help you win. He can knock down one of those once in a while, man, does his value go up. And there’s the Horford pass. Beautiful look. Spencer finishes. 30-point first quarter for Golden State. Here’s Gabe Vincent. Vincent, nice feet inside and Hayes lays it up and in. Lakers have had a couple of really good possessions. Some nice ball movement. Barford always a good three-point shooter. Didn’t shoot hardly at all the first seven or eight years of his career. And then the game changed. And then we saw nothing but big men in sevenfooters shooting all the threes. Six to shoot. Vincent makes his move off balance and Spencer does not like the call. Vincent will walk to the free throw line. I like the combination of Hayes and DeAndre Able to get it done and now they I think they found their big man in a Vincent connects on the first stream like your courts high within. Sign up on the NBA app or NBA.com to start streaming today. Dave Vincson, of course, big part of that Miami Heat team that went to the finals in 2023. Was hurt much of his first year with the Lakers, but he is a good, tough, smart, hard-nosed player. This his third year now with the Lakers and completely turned his season around a year ago. I mean, he could not make a shot the first two months of the season. He ended up being a guy who was playing 20 plus minutes regularly for them over the last couple of months. [Music] Buddy Heel falling away. Gets it a go. Buddy. Four points off the bench for Buddy Heel. He had that amazing game seven against the Rockets in the first round for Golden State. Shot clock turned off. No fouls to give here. Trying to harass Vincent. Does a nice job. Vincent though does a better job and knocks down the shot.
