LeBron James and Austin Reaves make their preseason debuts as the Lakers score 75 first-half points in a victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
It wasn’t surprising to see the Lakers look disjointed in their preseason opener Saturday in San Francisco, too many possessions defined by too many dribbles and not enough movement or passing. Debuts can look like that — especially when LeBron James and Austin Reaves are on the bench. But in preseason game No. 2, with two of their best passers back in action, the Lakers offense hummed, giving a glimpse of how things could look this upcoming season.
James had 10 points and five assists and Davis had his second consecutive strong game to open the preseason, scoring 13 to go with seven rebounds and three blocks in just 14 minutes. The Lakers led for most of the game before the two benches were emptied, with former Laker Lonnie Walker IV helping the Nets quickly take the lead in the final minutes. The Lakers, though, forced a turnover and created a dunk for rookie Maxwell Lewis to push back ahead.
