The Golden State Warriors have opened the 2025-26 NBA season with a 119-109 win on the road over the Los Angeles Lakers. Jimmy Butler led the Warriors with 31 points, 16 of which came from a perfect free-throw shooting performance, while Steph Curry added 23 points.

Bronny James is slated to join the G League's South Bay Lakers soon, but he remained with the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night for a home game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He got just over a minute of playing time after Lakers coach JJ Redick emptied the bench late in a 116-106 win over the Sixers.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Kawhi Leonard made a buzzer-beater and finished with 34 points to give the Los Angeles Clippers a 126-124 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night in the first game of the NBA Cup group stage for both teams.
The Los Angeles Clippers are just 1-4 ATS this season compared to a 4-2 mark for the Miami Heat. It’s tough to trust a team that got thrashed by the Utah Jazz in the opener and needed a Kawhi Leonard game-winner to get past the winless New Orleans Pelicans.
Bronny James played 18 minutes against the Heat, contributing two points and two assists while shooting 1-for-4 from the field.
