The Golden State Warriors scored a dominating 116-75 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in their preseason match on Sunday night at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Canada.
Stephen Curry was simply too much for the Lakers as he scored 12 points in the first three minutes of the match to give the Warriors full control of the match, taking a commanding 39-13 lead after the first 12 minutes of the match.
The Warriors, who also cruised to a 120-105 win against the Lakers on Thursday, never looked back from then on, taking a 40-point lead heading into the fourth period en route to the blowout win.
Curry finished with 25 points on 8-for-11 shooting from the field, including 4-for-7 from the three-point region, while also adding six rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block.
Klay Thompson also had an outstanding shooting night again, finishing with 16 points with four three-pointers, while David Lee racked up 14 points to go along with six assists and three rebounds.
For the entire game, the Warriors converted 13 three-pointers and shot an impressive 56.2 percent clip from the field, while limiting the Lakers to just 36.6 percent from the floor with no conversions from beyond the arc.
Robert Sacre and Wayne Ellington led the Lakers with 12 points apiece, while Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill chipped in 10 and eight points, respectively.
Lakers superstar guard Kobe Bryant had a rough night as he finished with just six points on 3-for-13 shooting from the field, while Steve Nash only had three points on 0-for-5 shooting in 12 minutes.
Jeremy Lin, who averaged 7.5 points and 7.0 assists in their first two preseason matches, missed the game after spraining his left ankle in practice on Saturday.
"I think Robert Sacre stepped on his ankle when they were playing five-on-five," Scott said of Lin's injury. "He turned it a little bit that way so we'll see how he feels tomorrow. He was in a little pain. He got up and kind of walked out on his own but he was in a little pain."
