Oct. 3 will be a day to remember when Kevin Durant and LeBron James meet face to face with their newly constructed teams.
“The Lakers will kick off their six-game exhibition schedule by hosting the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, October 3, at STAPLES Center. The team then travels to face Phoenix on Wednesday, October 6, followed by a road matchup with Golden State at the Chase Center on Friday, October 8,” per NBA.com.
The Nets and Lakers are already cemented as the favorites to represent their conferences in an anticipated NBA Finals match come June.
All eyes will be on the Lakers after acquiring Russell Westbrook via trade and signing Carmelo Anthony.
It’ll be a close game with both teams aiming to settle for perimeter shots and figuring out which lineups work.
