Hello and welcome to Sportstar's LIVE coverage of the GSW vs La Lakers match on the opening night of NBA 2022/23. LAL 8-11 GSW.

The jump ball is done and Lakers starts with the attack. He too is out on the floor for warm up. The Golden State Warriors team is donning jumpers that read ‘NBA Champions’. The title win banner for 2021/22 is hoisted at the Warriors home stadium. Austin Reeves with a lay up gets the bucket and is also fouled by Poole from behind. He gives the early lead to GSW and Lakers call a timeout. He is fouled and converts the three-point opportunity. Jordan Poole fires a three from the left side of the court. Davis is then fouled and he nails only one of the free throws. He first brushes past JaMychel Green and shoots from close to the rim. Warriors bench challenges and the decision is overturned. The game is getting pace here.

The opening night doubleheader rolls on with the Warriors hosting the Lakers at Chase Center in San Francisco.

7 p.m. - Time: 10 p.m. Lakers will tip off around 10 p.m. The game will be played at Chase Center in San Francisco. Lakers will air on TNT. — Before the game gets underway, there's another order of business … Timeout on the floor. — LeBron James has entered the chat. — James has seven points in the game but his cold shooting is a trend among the team. Worth noting for Los Angeles is the play of Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. — Two free throws from LeBron James cut the Lakers' deficit to seven right before the break, a relief given how poorly LA has shot in the half.

The Los Angeles Lakers host the defending champion Golden State Warriors in the second half of an NBA Tip Off Tuesday doubleheader from California.

The Lakers missed the playoffs, and didn’t even make it to the Play-In after building a super team meant to compete for a championship. Injuries riddled the Lakers season, as Anthony Davis went down for a good portion of the season, and LeBron James battled an ankle injury. Steph Curry and the Warriors aren't just celebrating the opening of the regular season tonight. Dressed in white coming into Chase Arena, is LeBron James going to be a saviour for the Lakers this season after what was a historically disappointing season last year? He missed two preseason games but was back for the finale, and will be on the floor on opening night. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have been the anchors in this dynasty and the will be looking to get back to the playoffs healthy this year. Lonnie Walker and Patrick Beverly join AD, LeBron and Westbrook in the Lakers starting five to start the season. AD going into the body of Looney and finishing off the glass. Curry got into the paint and looked to wiggle into space after picking up his dribble in the paint. Reaves on the break, gets the lay up and Poole fouled him! FT is good for the man who is becoming a fan favorite in the Bay. James hits the FT for his first points of the game.

For the second consecutive season, a Russell Westbrook-led Los Angeles Lakers team has opened its season against the Golden State Warriors, and for the ...

Remember, the Lakers have finally taken the plunge and moved Anthony Davis to center. James Wiseman just came in for his first NBA minutes in over a year, and LeBron James immediately takes him to the basket. The Lakers staved off the run for a bit and even cut the lead down to six. The Lakers sorely need him to stay on the floor. The Lakers move to 1-of-7 from behind the arc in one of the more predictable struggles you'll see all season. Just when you think the Lakers have found a bit of momentum and made a 3... The Lakers need to improve if they're going to stand up to the Clippers on Thursday. But this season is unique in all of the youth the Warriors have accumulated. This is going to be a work in progress, for as long as Westbrook remains on the team. The Lakers and Warriors will see each other three more times this season, and if the Lakers hope to compete with the defending champions in any of those games, they're going to need a whole lot more out of their support cast. Speaking of doubters, we have to address the elephant in the room here. The Warriors held the Lakers to just 25 percent shooting from behind the arc, and that poor spacing allowed them to protect the rim without worrying about the Lakers punishing them from deep.

Grading Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors in the team's 123-109 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on ...

It’s a new team, with exciting new players, and there was a lot of adrenaline at Chase Center. Hopefully the Dubs starters can take care of business regularly so that Rollins can find more time on the court. most of them the “oops, got a little too excited” variety. He spaced the floor, crashed the glass, and displayed great athleticism. Klay was on a tight minutes restriction after only appearing in one preseason game, the result of not scrimmaging during the offseason. If there’s one thing we learned about Green in this game, it’s that the coaching staff is going to trust him, as he got 23 minutes in this one. He had multiple plays where he caught the ball, didn’t see an open shooter, and then drove in a straight line right into traffic. Steve Kerr on Andrew Wiggins: "I just told him, if he can rebound like that in the playoffs then he can rebound like that in the regular season." And in the aftermath of the game, the most talked about Green moment was one where cameras caught him fraternizing with LeBron James during the game, when Green was on the Warriors bench. His three wasn’t falling but he put Patrick Beverley, Russell Westbrook, Kendrick Nunn, and Lonnie Walker IV on skates repeatedly, and used the threat of his jump shot to get open backcut after open backcut. On the offensive front, it was mostly quiet efficiency — which the Warriors will happily take — until the fourth quarter, when the Lakers started to make a run and Wiggins had the perfect dagger-three response on multiple occasions.
