As for the Lakers, they had Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell on the court. Along with their new acquisitions Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood to name a few as well. However, there was no sign of Auston Reaves or LeBron James.

A blunder took place at the hands of Jonathan Kuminga while Steph was on the bench. Curry, standing on the sidelines, gave off the impression that he was open on the three. At least that is what Kuminga felt as he drove to the rim and tried to finish an up and under layup. Only to pass the ball, not just out but out of bounds, right in the hands of Curry, leaving the entire team in tears.
