A turnover-ridden Golden State Warriors have fallen to the Los Angeles Lakers in their Las Vegas Summer League opener on Friday night. After a bright 13-2 opening to the game, the Warriors quickly let the Lakers back into the contest and ultimately trailed after every period in the 103-96 defeat.
Golden State led the NBA in turnovers during last regular season, an issue that seemingly extended to Friday night despite the differential in coaching and player personnel. The Warriors recorded five more turnovers than their opponents, proving costly in the tightly-contested seven-point defeat.
