The Los Angeles Lakers visit the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers (15-10) wrap up a three-game Texas road trip with a rematch of their contest versus San Antonio (3-20) on Wednesday. In that contest, Los Angeles built a sizeable early lead, even without LeBron James, who sat out for precautionary measures.
Anthony Davis was dominant in the first half, and Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs’ 7-foot-4 rookie phenom, didn’t seem to know what to do with him.
But as the game progressed, Wembanyama grew stronger, and with him throwing in bucket after bucket in the fourth quarter, the Spurs gave the Lakers a scare. The Lakers led by 18 at the start of the period and by 10 with about two minutes left, but that lead shrank to one with 21.2 seconds left. That’s when Wembanyama was fouled. He had a chance to tie the game, but made just one of two free throws.
Los Angeles escaped with a 122-119 win, and this time around, it will need to be more focused and motivated, otherwise the Spurs may end their 18-game losing streak.
