The Golden State Warriors showed they are ready for the regular season right around the corner with a 123-112 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in San Diego on Wednesday night.
Golden State took charge in the first quarter, with three pointers by Draymond Green and Stephen Curry.

At halftime, the Warriors led 52-43. Curry, Durant and Green displayed much of the athleticism and shots that made them stars last season.
