Lakers-Warriors ends early due to unplayable floor

A preseason game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors held at the Valley View Casino Center was called off late in the third quarter Saturday because of poor conditions on the court, with players from both teams continually slipping on wet spots.

Officials discontinued the game with 2:16 left in the third quarter after Warriors guard Leandro Barbosa slipped on the court. At that point, the Lakers led 85-70.

"They felt that there was a possibility of players getting hurt," said Lakers coach Byron Scott, who said he spoke with Warriors interim coach Luke Walton and that both agreed the game should be called off.
