Despite recovering to hit a season high in threes, San Antonio suffered its eighth straight loss in its 143-138 loss to Los Angeles. The Spurs staged a more competitive opening act with Devin Vassell pouring in 14 in the first quarter and the team going up by 11 in the second. They also had more 3-point makes by the end of the first half (seven) than they accumulated last night (six). Though nursing a slight deficit at the half, the Spurs could not get closer than within one, and the Lakers pulled away with a 8-0 run late in the third quarter.
