US EditionSpurs' Balanced Attack Overcomes Luka Doncic's Individual ...
San Antonio's balanced scoring and defense overcame the Lakers missing three starters, including LeBron James, as Luka Dončić posted his 86th career triple-double.
- On Wednesday, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the visiting Los Angeles Lakers 107-91 in the second game of a back-to-back at Frost Bank Center.
- With multiple starters sidelined, LeBron James, 41, didn't play due to left joint arthritis and sciatica and was downgraded to out about 90 minutes before tipoff, while Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura had calf strains.
- Luka Dončić produced a 38-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in 38 minutes and 20 seconds, scoring or assisting 14 of the Lakers' 16 first-half baskets but committing seven turnovers.
- San Antonio's win moved them into second place in the Western Conference, ending the Los Angeles Lakers' three-game streak with an average of 61 points sidelined; the Lakers now host the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
- LeBron's back-to-back status remains uncertain as LeBron James has yet to play two games in as many days this season, and the Lakers face 10 of 16 games on the road this month.
