The Clippers played well in their first preseason game, beating Denver at home (103-102). Of course, the sailors fought that duel without their leaders, but the reservists also looked pretty good. Only the successful actions of Terrence Mann are worth it. In 29.5 minutes on the floor, this player scored 14 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Thus, Mann became the best player in the entire meeting. Tyrone Liu’s charges will again play against Sacramento without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Also, Serge Ibaka and Jason Preston will not play.
The Lakers had a disastrously bad first preseason game. The older players of the “lake” did not always keep up with the young basketball players of “Brooklyn”. As a result, Frank Vogel’s charges lost 97-123. In the previous match, the best in the Lakers were Malik Monk, Dwight Howard and Wayne Ellington. On account of this trio are 37 points. Unfortunately, the rest of the “lake” players performed much worse. It seems that without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles team will have a hard time counting on success.
