Shorthanded Spurs outgunned by Lakers in offensive showdown

Despite snapping out of their offensive funk, the Spurs simply could not keep up with the Lakers and avenge the previous night’s defeat. San Antonio crossed the 130-point threshold for the second time this season but didn’t have the bodies to shut down their opponent’s attack at any point, and lost 142 -138 on a night in which Jakob Poeltl and Jeremy Sochan had to leave the game with injuries.

It was clear from the start that it was not going to be a defensive battle, as both teams scored in four consecutive trips down the court after an initial miss from Jeremy Sochan to open up the festivities.
