The Los Angeles Lakers finally got back in the win column on Wednesday night by defeating the San Antonio Spurs in relatively comfortable fashion. They didn’t lose a single quarter and were in control nearly the entire way, fending off Spurs runs regularly and without needing any one player to be a hero.
Anthony Davis needed only 19 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists to secure the win. Dalton Knecht — placed back in the starting lineup — was the leading scorer with 20 points. It was a balanced effort and a near wire-to-wire victory off of the back of a frustrating three-game losing streak.
