The Los Angeles Lakers opened preseason with a loss, but the baby steps the young team is taking together are more about process than results. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with celebrating the return of basketball win, lose, or otherwise.
The Lakers’ digital team is cutting all sorts of highlights and media for us to enjoy and share. So sit back, relax, and take in some of the best moments from the preseason opener.
First, the one-minute “mega” reel:

Now, some tidbits here and there from throughout the game. Apologies for any doubles from the Lakers’ mix (providing both since some folks aren’t trying to sit through an ENTIRE minute of video):
