The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors will play a preseason game 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip, the franchise announced this morning.
The Lakers regularly play a game here in the preseason. The Lakers are popular in Las Vegas because of the proximity to Los Angeles.
And, of course, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1984 broke the NBA’s then-scoring record when the Lakers played the Utah Jazz at the Thomas & Mack Center. The Jazz played 11 games here because their arena in Salt Lake City was too small.
