Lakers vs. Warriors Preview: Building off a strong start

Things could hardly have gone better for LA in their first preseason game against the Kings on Monday .

A dominant stretch in the second quarter highlighted a comprehensive first-half beatdown before a much more relaxed second half. Still, it was a very encouraging game from the Lakers after a summer that created a lot of intrigue and excitement.

Two of the most intriguing takeaways were the team's 3-point shooting and the turnovers forced.
