Victor Wembanyama had 20 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks, but it wasn't enough as Los Angeles snapped San Antonio's four-game winning steak.
A hard shoulder check by D'Angelo Russell against Chris Paul late in the first period Wednesday night drew the ire of the Spurs fans in a sellout crowd of 19,120 at the Frost Bank Center . But after Paul let Russell know he didn't care for the move, nothing more came of it. But a case can be made that the hit underscored how much more aggressive and physical the Lakers were than the home team in the second night of a back-to-back for both clubs.
Vassell maintains perspective in the face of adversity With his foot injury last season, the surgery in June to heal it, and a bruised knee that sidelined him for the past couple of weeks, it's been a star-crossed year so far for the fifth-year guard. To his credit, he's fought back from all of it and showed little rust on the offensive end Wednesday night in his return, connecting on 5 for 10 from the field, including 2 for 3 from 3-point range. 'He looked good,' Johnson said.
