Five takeaways from the Lakers’ loss to Golden State

Five things we learned from the Lakers’ 136-97 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night at Honda Center in Anaheim:

1. Lou Williams didn’t look rusty after missing the previous two games with a groin injury.

Williams came off the bench for the Lakers and scored 19 points on six-for-12 shooting, two-for-five on three-pointers.

He also handed out three assists in the 23 minutes, 42 seconds he played.

2. Rookie small forward Anthony Brown started again for the Lakers and played some of his best basketball of the exhibition season.

Brown had 14 points, making five of six shots and all three of his three-pointers.

“I wouldn’t say it was his best game,” Lakers Coach Byron Scott said. “But it was his best offensive game.”

3. Scott said he had two messages for his team after they were blown out by the Warriors: They failed to show growth as a team and they reacted poorly to the pressure the Warriors applied during the game.

4. The Lakers didn’t take care of the basketball against the Warriors: They had 23 turnovers, seven by rookie guard Marcelo Huertas and six by Julius Randle.

“You can’t turn the ball over against these guys 20-some times and expect to win,” Scott said. “They are too good.”

5. Rookie guard D’Angelo Russell had a tough time shooting the basketball, missing eight of his 12 shots and four of his five three-pointers.

Russell did have four assists, but had a difficult time defending Golden State’s Stephen Curry, who had 24 points and 10 assists.

Scott said Russell had an “up and down” exhibition season.

“It’s what you’d expect from a 19-year-old,” Scott said. “He has to understand how to play the game on this level.”
