The Warriors rolled past the Lakers, 124-103, to close out the preseason on Friday night.
Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 32 points. D'Angelo Russell was not far behind him with 29 points and shot 6-11 from beyond the arc.
During training camp Steph and D'Lo both said it wouldn't take long to build chemistry between the two, and they weren't lying:
