Lakers fans finally got to see LeBron + AD team up in the 1st NBA game at the newly opened Chase Center in downtown San Francisco. AD played well, posting 22 pts, 10 reb in 18 minutes. LeBron had a steady night with 15 pts, 8 assists.
The Lakers center tandem of Dwight Howard + JaVale McGee split time at center and both played well combining for 19 pts + 22 reb. Avery Bradley started in the backcourt but, had a quiet game with 0 pts in 12 min but, had some good defensive moments. Troy Daniels had a strong game with 14 pts in 25 min including a deep 3 pointer.
The Lakers length with AD, Dwight, and JaVale against the smaller lineup of the Warriors, who were without Willie Cauley-Stein and Kevon Looney was a key advantage in the game. They ended up out-rebounding the Warriors 58-47.
