At the end of regulation, the score of this game was 128-128. That’s insanity. I know all signs point towards this being the way the league is trending right now but, still. Holy smokes, that’s so many points.
The San Antonio Spurs are going to need to score like this all season because, as we’ve repeated ad nauseam, the defensive side of things isn’t likely to be this squad’s strong suit, and tonight’s performance just added more evidence to the pile. The effort wasn’t even really that bad overall! The Lakers have a bunch of young, athletic, and extremely capable scorers, and they also have some kid from Akron.
