The night started with a laser-light show and a video montage. Then pyrotechnics fired around the arena while the starters sneaked under a giant white sheet hanging from the scoreboard above center court. And when the curtain finally lifted on the 2013-14 Golden State Warriors, the real fireworks began. Klay Thompson scored a career-high 38 points in a spectacular shooting performance, and the Warriors whipped the Los Angeles Lakers 125-94 in Golden State's much-anticipated season opener Wednesday night.
