Golden State Warriors celebrate its fifth consecutive preseason game win, earning a 123-112 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in San Diego on Wednesday night. The team jumped out to an early lead and held it from start to finish.
NBA reports that Stephen Curry lead all scorers with 32 points and six three-pointers. Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson added 23 and 19 points, respectively.

Young had 19 points, and Russell gave out 16 points and nine assists.
Golden State's teamwork is indeed one of the best, with all players contributing to win each and every game. To add, even their rookie Patrick McCaw did a great job in one of their preseason games.
CSN shares that the Warriors rookie hit an overtime game-winner to lead the Warriors past the Nuggets 129-128. It was part of an 18-point performance on the night.
Five minutes before, McCaw hit a game-tying three-pointer to send the game into overtime.
McCaw was one of five Warriors in double figures - with Stephen Curry and his 22 points leading the way. He also recorded nine rebounds. Kevin Durant scored 19 points and Klay Thompson added 17.
Golden State scored 15 points in regulation before coming back to force overtime. They outscored Denver 22-7 in the final 5:39 of regulation.
It is the first time since 2010 (a 105-102 loss to the Lakers) that the Warriors went to overtime in the preseason, and winning a preseason overtime game for the first time since Oct. 23, 2007 at Seattle (126-122).
Meanwhile, with Golden State's fifth-straight win, the team improves to five to one in preseason play. They will close out the preseason when they host the Trail Blazers at Oracle Arena, Oakland, CA on Friday.
