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.

Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry led four Warriors in double figures as Golden State took down the Lakers in Los Angeles on NBA opening night.

The Dallas Mavericks overwhelm the Lakers in the fourth quarter, outscoring Los Angeles 37-8 in the final frame to win their final preseason game in Las Vegas.

Domantas Sabonis dropped in the go-ahead hoop on a follow shot with 6.4 seconds left, Zach LaVine saved seven of his 31 points for a frantic finish, and the Sacramento Kings won their home opener 105-104 over the Utah Jazz on Friday night.

It's a 11-game night in the NBA, with Stephen Curry, Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in action.

JJ Redick has to be frustrated that this problem still exists for the Lakers heading into the new season as seen in their opening night loss.

Before his first official NBA game, Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has already made quite a name for himself. Flagg, 18, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft after winning Wooden and Naismith National Player of the Year awards for his lone season of college basketball with the Duke Blue Devils.

The Los Angeles Lakers were missing a ton of production on Sunday night. That meant Bronny James had a chance at more run than usual as the Lakers took on the Sacramento Kings. Before Sunday night, Bronny had played just three minutes this season. He didn't get into the game at all in the first half, though.
