Los Angeles looks to stay undefeated in Las Vegas en route to the finals.<\/p>\n<p>Start time and TV schedule<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">When: 5:30 p.m. PT, July 18<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Where: Thomas &amp; Mack Center<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Lakers\u2019 undefeated record will be tested on Saturday against, ironically, the only team that has defeated them this summer in the Warriors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Yes, the same Golden State team that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverscreenandroll.com\/lakers-scores-results\/121457\/lakers-vs-warriors-final-score-recap-stats-summer-league-adou-thiero-cameron-carr\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dominated them<\/a> in their first California Classic game this summer. Since then, much has changed for the purple and gold and it\u2019s going to be interesting to see whether or not they can avenge their only loss this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The fourth-seeded Warriors will be led by their 11th overall pick in Yaxel Lendeborg, who has been fantastic all summer. The rookie from Michigan is averaging 16 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.4 steals across five games. This matchup will be headlined by Lendeborg and Cameron Carr.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Speaking of Carr, he\u2019s been nothing but excellent and consistent for the Lakers. The best part about this is that he\u2019s been garnering a ton of help from his teammates, specifically from the likes of Adou Thiero, Arthur Kaluma and Chris Ma\u00f1on. The Lakers\u2019 biggest advantage in this game will be their depth and collectivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Warriors are a very good shooting team, so slowing down their perimeter production will be key. Besides Lendeborg, Los Angeles has to contain LJ Cryer, who is coming off a strong performance versus the New York Knicks. That should be manageable given how superb and physical the Lakers\u2019 defense has been under coach Ty Abbott.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">As long as the Lakers continue creating quality looks on offense while getting balanced production from their key contributors, they\u2019ll have a strong chance of punching their ticket to the Summer League Finals. Expect this one to be a competitive game between Pacific Division rivals and whoever wins will certainly have bragging rights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Let\u2019s hope it\u2019s the Lakers as they aim to stay undefeated on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With two games to play, the Lakers (4-0) are now in the semifinals, where they will compete against&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,383728,85],"class_list":["post-808868","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-los-angeles-lakers-discussion","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808868","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808868"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808868\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
