SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (6-13) will look to snap their six-game losing skid Friday night as they host the Los Angeles Lakers (5-11). The Spurs and Lakers will meet for the second time this season with the Lakers 1-0 versus the Spurs.
GAME REWIND
The Spurs are coming off a 129-110 home loss versus the Pelicans.
Devin Vassell had 26 points and four rebounds to lead the team while Doug McDermott added 21 points. Tre Jones finished with nine points and nine assists while Jeremy Sochan recorded 12 points.
"The third quarter and half the fourth quarter we played pretty good D [defense]," Gregg Popovich said. "In that period of time we got outscored by six [points]. So the physicality of both offense and defense playing with purpose and not just walking around. We were down 19 [points] at the half. It took all that time to get them to the point to get them where they competed the way they needed to to win in the NBA."
