Spurs vs. Lakers Breakdown

This will be the fourth meeting this year between the rival Spurs and Lakers. The Lakers are currently 3-0 heading into the matchup after their three meetings back in November.

San Antonio will need to limit LeBron in this performance. LeBron James is coming off a monster 46-point performance against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers. In the two games he played against the Spurs (injured in their first matchup), he posted 39 points in one matchup and 21 in the other. If the Spurs can limit LeBron once again to under 25 points, their chances will rise exponentially. If the Spurs can string together a strong assist night and share the basketball with Tre Jones leading the charge, the team will have a shot at victory.

For the Lakers on the other hand, they will need to limit Keldon Johnson and ensure that the Spurs bench doesn’t get going early. The Spurs tend to have to fight their way back after a slow start to their games this season. The Spurs do not have that player that will drop 40+ points every night, but they do have a tendency to have many of their players including their bench above double figures. Last time out, the Spurs had eight players hit that double-figure mark. Tune in tonight at 9:30 for this classic Western Conference rivalry.
