During the Warriors' season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, rookie Yaxel Lendeborg found himself in the middle of an exchange with the star Luka Doncic. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, who is known for his forthright approach, provided Lendeborg with a "NSFW lesson" about how officials address on-court confrontations. Kerr remarked to the rookie, "They call all that sh*t here; they wouldn't call it in any other arena."
Although the Warriors showed glimpses of their potential, they couldn't match the intensity of the Lakers and ultimately lost the game 127-105. Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 23 points, while Lendeborg contributed 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, and a steal. Despite their efforts, the Lakers' Doncic dominated with 28 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists.
The Lakers' Walker Kessler particularly shone in his first regular-season game, scoring 26 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and blocking two shots.
