The Lakers and Warriors locked horns in Las Vegas on Tuesday. The Dubs won that game 111-97 after dominating the matchup against LA's starters in the first 2.5 quarters and the reserves the rest of the game.

Moses Moody rose to the occasion in that contest, while Steph Curry also made invaluable contributions. Moody tallied a team-high 21 points and five rebounds, shooting 50.0%, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range.

Meanwhile, Curry added a preseason-high 16 points, five rebounds and six assists. His shooting didn't seem as impressive as he went 6 of 18, but his gravity allowed the Warriors' offense to flow as smoothly as expected.
