NBA preseason games began Sunday night and were opened by the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets. It is true that both clubs performed without their brightest stars.
A resounding victory in Los Angeles 123: 97 (25:19, 32:30, 27:32, 39:16) won by the Nets club led by Steve Nash.
The Brooklyn club was not helped by a trio of stars: Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant, who watched the game from the bench. Blake Griffin, Patty Mills, Joe Harris and James Johnson were also not played.
There were no LeBron James, rookies Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and Trevor Arizos on the Lakers’ barricades.
Anthony Davis appeared on the parquet of the California club, but the forward only played 11 minutes and scored 6 points (2/6 dvit., 2/3 penalty), bounced 1 ball, made 1 assists, made two errors and fouled . .
When asked to comment on why he walked the court, although other Lakers stars declined, Davis said he missed basketball.
“I just wanted to play because I missed a lot of games last season due to injury,” said the tall man. – I want to get back on track and be in good shape at the start of the season, whether I’m playing a half or two. I want to remember the habits. “
The break in the game occurred in the last quarter. If the Lakers breathed on their opponents’ backs during the first three (78:84), the Brooklyn team got very angry in the deciding quarter. Led by Camo Thomas, the Nets basketball players played an impressive 39:16 half and held a 29 point lead at the same time (112: 83).
In the final minutes, however, the Lakers managed to melt the deficit a bit, but the crushing victory was still celebrated by the Brooklyn club.
Beds Thomas, the most productive winner, scored 21 points in 22 minutes (6/11 double, 1/3 double, 6/7 penalty), 4 rebounds and turnovers, 2 assists, one block and two personal fouls.
Malikas Monkas was the one who stood out the most in the Lakers team, scoring 15 points (3/6 doubles, 3/6 trit), bouncing 2 balls and giving 2 assists.
Dwight Howard, who returned to the Lakers for the third time in his career this summer, scored 11 points (3/7 doubles, 5/6 penalties), 6 rebounds and 6 fouls in 13 minutes. The pivot was sanctioned with technical and non-sports penalties.
After a sixth personal foul that sent Howard to the reserve bench, Lakers stars James and Westbrook couldn’t stop laughing.
The Lakers: Malik Monk 15, Dwight Howard (6 p.m., 6 p.m.) and Wayne Ellington 11 each, Chaundee Brown and Talen Horton Tucker 10 each, Kendrick Nunn 9.
Networks: Cam Thomas 21, Day’Ron Sharpe (cam 6) and David Duke (cam 7) after 13, Sekou Doumbouya 11, Paul Millsap 10 (cam 10), Devontae Cacok and Kessler Edwards after 9.
