Dejounte Murray led a furious comeback for the Spurs in the fourth quarter to tie up the game late, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Dwight Howard provided an unexpected scoring punch for the visitors to put it away as the Spurs just couldn’t hit their shots late. It was a solid effort for the Silver and Black, but defensive lapses let the Lakers take the win. The Spurs played their best defensive performance of the year for much of the game, but they weren’t consistent enough to earn a win against Anthony Davis, LeBron James and the talented Lakers.
