Looking to even their record back out to 2-2, the Spurs came up against the superteam Los Angeles Lakers that, despite missing LeBron James, is loaded with talent but had been struggling. It was mostly a back-and-fourth affair, but after it seemed like the Spurs had taken control with a huge run to end the third quarter, the Lakers managed force overtime and win 125-121, in no small part thanks to the Spurs going 0-7 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter.
Dejounte Murray had an impressive 21-12-15 triple double, Jakob Poeltl had a career-high 27 points, and Lonnie Walker and Devin Vassell combined for 40 points off the bench.
