HONOLULU (Ticker) -- The Golden State Warriors picked up rightwhere they left off last season as they edged the Los AngelesLakers, 111-110, in the season opener for both teams.

Kelenna Azubuike scored 17 of his game-high 27 points in thefirst quarter as the Warriors jumped to a 21-point lead afterthe first 12 minutes. The second-year guard out of Kentuckyfinished 9-of-16 from the field and pulled down nine rebounds.

Azubuike, who played in 41 games while making nine starts lastseason, is looking to improve upon his rookie season in which heaveraged 7.1 points per game and 2.1 rebounds in just over 16.3minutes.


Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was held scoreless in just under nineminutes on Tuesday, that is, until the third quarter. Bryant,who led the NBA in scoring a season ago, averaging 31.6 pointsper game, scored 17 points in the third quarter, but GoldenState managed to build a 58-45 halftime lead to 17 entering thefinal period of play.


Los Angeles opened the fourth quarter with a 21-4 run to tie thegame at 95-95. After Ronny Turiaf hit two free throws to givethe Lakers a 110-109 lead with 10 seconds left in the game,newly acquired Tierre Brown of the Warriors drove the lane andkicked out to veteran Troy Hudson, who nailed the jumper to liftGolden State to victory.


Vladimir Radmonovic led the Lakers with 20 points while rookieguard Javaris Crittenton added 18.


Crittenton, who entered the NBA after completing his freshmanyear at Georgia Tech, was selected 19th overall by the Lakers inthe 2007 NBA draft after averaging 14.4 points and 5.7 assistsper game in his lone season in college.

Re: NBA: GOLDEN STATE at LA LAKERS

It looks like Patrick O'Bryant did pretty well leading the team in rebounds. Azubuike is a good player no doubt. Matt Barnes sucked, but everyone else did pretty well. But what is up with Brandan Wright? Is he going to be POB this season or is he just hurt?
