There appeared to be several hopeful and sustained moments in the game that hinted towards an improbable Spurs win tonight. San Antonio took advantage of a visibly tired Los Angeles team playing its second game in consecutive nights, while incorporating back Anthony Davis and newly acquired Rui Hachimura into its line-up, by building a double-digit lead in the first half and staving off several Laker runs in the process. The trio of Keldon Johnson, Jeremy Sochan, and Keita-Bates Diop provided the bulk of the scoring muscle to accomplish the advantage. A late run, however, led by Davis and Russell Westbrook helped bring the hosts to within one at the break.
