They trailed by one after the first quarter, and then everything got real bad the rest of the wayOct 22 Open postNBA Scores @nbascores.bsky.socialBlueskyFinal:

Lakers 127Oct 22 Open postWarriors on NBC Sports Bay Area @nbcswarriors.bsky.socialBlueskyYaxel Lendeborg used to love watching Luka Dončić highlights, but he "lost all respect" for the Lakers superstar after their fiery matchup tonight (via @daltonjohnson.bsky.social)Oct 22 Open postEdwin Garcia @ecreates88.bsky.socialBlueskyLakers Injury Report: Carr and Adou remain out. The good news on Jake LaRavia is that he is questionable. He sprained his ankle late in the game against the Warriors. Jake has yet to miss a regular-season game as a Laker. He played all 82 last year.Oct 22 Open postLaw Murray 📘 @lawmurraythenu.bsky.socialBluesky🆕 @theathletic.com
Walker Kessler said last month that the Lakers trading for him and paying him makes him feel like he would run through a brick wall for them
In his regular season debut, Walker was more like Runner Kessler going through the Warriors defense

And the first one, headlined by Walker Kessler’s special debut and packed with other hidden gems, was super fun to put together 👇
digginbasketball.substack.com/p/2026-2027-...Oct 22 Open postKurt Helin @basketballtalk.bsky.socialBlueskyOn opening night, Luka Doncic, Walker Kessler pairing works beautifully
It's just the first of 82, against a very shorthanded Warriors front line, but for a night the Lakers got the pairing they dreamed of all Summer long.
www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/on-...Oct 22 Open postrunthejules (aka brian) @hobo-j-arpen.bsky.socialBlueskyI think tonight was more "Warriors are ass" than "Lakers are contenders!!11!" but there is plenty to like about tonight even without Sexton, Carr, and Thiero.
The defensive effort and weapons are there. Kessler is an anchor on both ends. And the offensive depth around Luka/AR is very real.Oct 22 Open postAnthony Irwin @anthonyirwinla.bsky.socialBlueskyThe Lakers beat the hell outta the Warriors. Let's have a little fun with it in The Lounge.
- Luka, still good
- Walker perfect
- Austin quietly productive
- Warriors... yeesh

youtube.com/live/aF49mQF...Oct 22 Open postIsaiah Samad @zaytaju.bsky.socialBlueskyI want to believe that the Warriors will be fine, but I also think this is one of the reasons why they should’ve desperately made better moves in the offseason. Especially with the frontcourt. They looked too small against the Lakers.Oct 22 Open postNBC Bay Area @nbcbayarea.comBlueskyWarriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg didn’t hold back after going up against Lakers superstar Luka Dončić in his first NBA game. So, did he say the right things afterward? Reputation risk strategist Eden Gillott breaks down his comments. nbcbay.com/aupZfhi #NBA #Warriors #basketballOct 22 Open post
