How do you make a romp interesting?
Look at the numbers, of course.
The San Antonio Spurs routed the Lakers, 134-94. It was their seventh straight win over the Lakers, tying the longest streak in team history (also accomplished 2004-2006).
Among the statistical highlights:
• The Spurs’ 40-point win is their largest ever against the Lakers in 218 meetings (including postseason). It matches the largest win by either team in the history of the rivalry. The Lakers beat the Spurs by 40 on March 30, 1989. Gregg Popovich was an assistant coach on that team.
