Recap: Austin Reaves & Walker Kessler Shine In Lakers Preseason Loss To Warriors

Austin Reaves and Walker Kessler delivered strong individual performances, but the Los Angeles Lakers fell 101-89 to the Golden State Warriors in a preseason matchup at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Tuesday. Despite building a 20-point advantage behind the starters and key rotation players, Los Angeles surrendered the lead late as Golden State rallied against the Lakers' bench.

Reaves led all scorers with 28 points, four rebounds, and seven assists, while Kessler posted 11 points and nine rebounds in 16 first-half minutes during his Lakers debut. The Lakers rested Luka Doncic and missed several players due to minor injuries, and they will conclude their preseason schedule against the Denver Nuggets on Friday.
