Los Angeles improves to an 8-4 record on the young season.
On Friday night, the Los Angeles Lakers added to their absolutely immaculate Emirates NBA Cup record with a narrow 120-115 victory over the chippy San Antonio Spurs. L.A. is now 8-0 in cumulative NBA Cup play, dating back to their 7-0 run to the competition's inaugural championship last year.
Starting point guard Austin Reaves , his backup D'Angelo Russell , and — shockingly — Max Christie were the Lakers' other three double-digit scorers. At the half, the Lakers led 68-60. A 15-9 Spurs run at the top of the third frame, spurred on by lots of Chris Paul facilitating, got San Antonio within a possession, 77-75. Some long range sniping from Knecht and Reaves helped create a bit more separate midway through the quarter. Playing at home to a dialed-in crowd, the Spurs would not be denied. The frame closed with Los Angeles up seven, 93-86.
