All eyes will be on Luke Walton before the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs tip off Saturday evening in Texas. Rajon Rondo will be returning from his three-game suspension, and everyone will be wondering what that means for a starting lineup that has won two straight and very easily could be on a three-game winning streak.
The last time these two teams played, they went to overtime in what would’ve been a soul-crushing loss no matter how the game ended. San Antonio gave up an eight-point lead with a minute left in regulation, then the Lakers said, “hold my beer” and gave up a late lead in overtime after LeBron James missed two crucial free-throws.
