The Los Angeles Lakers took on Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves at Crypto.com Arena on Friday night in a rematch of last year's first round 4-1 T'Wolves victory. The Lakers were without the services of LeBron James as the ageless wonder sat out due to a sciatica issue.

The Warriors ran away with a 16-4 third-quarter run, eventually beating Luka Dončić (43 points) and the Lakers 119-109 to cap our opening night doubleheader.

Austin Reaves averaged a career-best 20.2 points per game last season, and he ramped it up to 22.8 points per game from February 1 through the end of the regular season. In three games played with Luka and without LeBron, he posted totals of 28, 30, and 22.
