The Golden State Warriors have the spotlight to begin the new NBA season, and they never step away from it until the end.
After receiving their championship rings, the Bay jumped out with the Los Angeles Lakers to begin their title defense.
It was a slow start for both squads, but the signature third-quarter run of the Warriors broke the game wide open, ending in a 123-109 victory.
Stephen Curry dropped 33 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in the dub, followed by the 20 markers of Andrew Wiggins.
Three-point shooting spoke the difference in the game as Golden State hit 16 triples compared to only nine of LA.
LeBron James, meanwhile, flirted with a triple-double of 31 points, 14 rebounds, and eight assists in a losing effort, while Anthony Davis chipped 26 points with six boards.
