Q4
SAS 81 LAL 93
It's been awhile since the Lakers got three straight wins. This quarter was great in a way the Lakers put the clamps on defensively as the Spurs were making runs. They got back to the basics in generating turnovers and turning defense into offense with some buckets that sealed the deal for them. San Antonio may have been shorthanded, missing key pieces, but they still put up a fight and they're still a contender in the west. Looks like the Lake Show is building their confidence back. Stay tuned for the full recap.
Q3
SAS 62 LAL 68
Not a bad finish for the Lakers. But, they have a tendency to be a little fancy when playing with the lead and that resulted in the Spurs storming right back into this game. Turnovers played a factor in this quarter. Lonzo was the culprit of most of those. He's putting a lot of air on those passes or trying to fit them into tight windows, which is the last thing the Lakers need. KCP couldn't have gotten hot at a right time like this. Lakers were crumbling and he stepped up the scoring and created some defense-to-offense possessions.
