Lakers: D-League D-Fenders Show Off Talent

The Austin Spurs are one of the best teams in the NBA D-League with a record of 9-2, ranking No. 1 in the Southwest Division whereas the Los Angeles D-Fenders are currently 6-6 and ranked No. 2 in the Pacific Division. These two teams faced off twice this past weekend.

Attending a D-Fenders game is quite a unique experience. Games are played in the far back of the Toyota Sports Center, the Lakers practice facility, which also houses the Los Angeles Kings practice facility and an extra skating rink for recreation and competitive skating. Basically, it’s a madhouse with kids everywhere; you would never know there are potential future NBA stars playing some very exciting basketball under the same roof.
