Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick didn't mince words for his team's issues coming out of halftime in their 119-109 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

The Warriors ended up mounting a 23-9 run to start the third quarter, and Luka Doncic was the only Lakers player to score during that stretch before Marcus Smart finally hit a free throw to end their dry spell. The Warriors have got a 78-64 lead now with 5:29 left in the period.

Three takeaways from the Lakers' 119-109 loss to the Golden State Warriors in their season opener on Tuesday night.

Some fans on Instagram alleged that LeBron James was disconnected to the rest of the Lakers during the loss against the Warriors.

Doncic falls one assist short of a triple-double, but Jimmy Butler scores 31 points, Steph Curry adds 23 and Golden State makes 17 3-pointers to hand the LeBron-less Lakers a 119-109 defeat.

The Lakers don't have enough shooting around their big names. They made just eight of their 32 attempts from deep on Tuesday. In 2022, they shot 10 for 40, followed that up with the worst four-game shooting start in NBA history,
