The San Antonio Spurs continued their downward spiral on Sunday, losing their fifth consecutive game as the Los Angeles Lakers sent them packing with a blowout in the finale of their Western Conference road trip. Most of their matchups have started sluggish, and this one followed a similar path that saw them dig an early hole they couldn’t overcome.
Devin Vassell led the Silver and Black with 17 points and four assists on 7-of-14 shooting, but it wasn’t enough to propel them to victory. The rest of the starters failed to match his productivity, with Keldon Johnson, Gorgui Dieng, Tre Jones, and Jeremy Sochan chipping in 41 points on a combined 34.
