Summer Lakers Pack Stats But Still Fall Versus Warriors
LAS VEGAS — While the summer Lakers found individual success, it could not coalesce into a needed victory.
Shooting and turnovers were the difference-maker, as the Lakers lost an 88-80 game to Golden State, falling to 0-3 at the Las Vegas Summer League and effectively eliminating them from a chance at tournament play.
The Lakers had their moments and, in fact, led for most of the first half. They followed the lead of Jordan Caroline, who had his best performance yet with a game-high 27 points. He splashed three triples and also did some work getting to the hoop, where the Warriors couldn’t help but foul him, as he shot a perfect 12-of-12 from the free throw line.
