Marquese Chriss Posts Double-Double in Dubs’ Preseason Defeat

The Dubs dropped the first of their three consecutive games against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night, falling 104-98 in Los Angeles. Despite the loss, several Dubs added to their case to make the regular season roster.

Training camp invite Marquese Chriss continued his strong preseason effort with a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double in which he also added four assists and three blocks while shooting 6-for-6 on free throws. Also responding to the call was Damion Lee who fell just short of a double-double of his own: 18 points, nine rebounds, and three steals.

Without the presence of D’Angeo Russell and Draymond Green, both of whom sat-out to rest, the Dubs struggled at the start. By the end of the first half, the team was a cumulative 16-for-54 (29.6%) on field goals. However, it was clear the squad was not going down without a fight as the Dubs managed to end the second quarter on a 14-6 run.

As the game progressed, they continued to chip-away at the Lakers’ lead, working their way from 19 points down midway through the third quarter to a three-point deficit with three minutes left in the game. But back-to-back buckets by the Lakers would ultimately keep the Dubs at a distance and seal their fate.

Preseason action for both clubs continues as the Dubs play their third of four preseason games against the Lakers on Wednesday night.
