The shorthanded San Antonio Spurs prevailed over the understaffed Los Angeles Lakers in crunch time as they rebounded after relinquishing a 14-point first-half lead. Despite floundering at the free-throw line throughout the night, the good guys found other ways to get on the scoreboard while holding the Purple and Gold at bay when it mattered most.
Dejounte Murray bolstered the box score for the Silver and Black with 26 points, ten rebounds, eight assists, and three steals. Josh Richardson and Jakob Poeltl scored 18 points apiece in their first start together. And best of all, Josh Primo and Tre Jones provided some clutch defensive stops as Los Angeles attacked the paint in pursuit of easy offense.
