The Golden State Warriors kicked off the California Classic with a hard-fought 89-84 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. After a sluggish start, the Warriors found their rhythm in the third quarter, thanks to Isaiah Mobley's strong performance, helping the team overcome an early deficit. Key contributions came from Jackson Rowe and Blake Hinson, who combined for 12 points in the fourth quarter, sealing the win.

Rowe and Mobley were the standout players, each scoring 13 points, with Rowe also adding eight rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Taran Armstrong, although struggling with his shot, managed a solid seven points and six assists. The Warriors were without two of their draft picks, Alex Toohey and Will Richard, due to pending trades, while the Lakers missed Bronny James.

Steph Curry was present at the Chase Center, observing the action as the Warriors prepare for their next game against the San Antonio Spurs.
