The Lakers\u2019 preseason continues in Las Vegas with a rematch against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. The purple and gold look to nab their third exhibition victory.<\/p>\n
Start time and TV schedule<\/p>\n
Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors<\/p>\n
Watch: NBA TV, Spectrum Sportsnet<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the fourth game of the Lakers\u2019 preseason stint, which means we\u2019re literally nine days away from the team\u2019s season opener, which will also be against Golden State. Tuesday\u2019s game against the Warriors is the perfect teaser.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s also fair to hope for is that the Lakers don\u2019t get outplayed and blown out <\/a>by the Warriors, similar to what happened last week. Hopefully this time around, the key players for both teams suit up and treat this one like a dress rehearsal for the season opener.<\/p>\n After all, Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world and it would be a disservice if both California-based teams don\u2019t put on a show.<\/p>\n For the Lakers, it would be nice to see Luka Don\u010di\u0107 look like his usual self, much like he did in their recent win over the Sacramento Kings<\/a> when he dropped 23 points in just 25 minutes. The same goes for Austin Reaves, who made his preseason debut in that game and understandably looked a little rusty. When these two are rolling, it\u2019s harder to imagine a more entertaining Lakers team.<\/p>\n What\u2019s also been fun to watch is how this squad is gradually coming together. It\u2019s been a pleasant surprise and encouraging development to see their chemistry on the court taking shape, especially considering how much roster turnover the Lakers went through this offseason. The players seem to understand their roles alongside Don\u010di\u0107 and Reaves and complement one another well.<\/p>\n Suddenly, it\u2019s becoming clearer why head coach JJ Redick believes this is the first time in his Lakers tenure<\/a> that the roster \u201cactually fits together.\u201d<\/p>\n
