Spurs Fall to Lakers in NBA Cup Game

The San Antonio Spurs fell to the Los Angeles Lakers 120-115 in a tightly contested NBA Cup matchup at the Frost Bank Center. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 28 points and 14 rebounds, although he struggled to draw fouls, finishing the game without any free throw attempts. The Lakers, fueled by Anthony Davis's 40 points, maintained control in the final minutes despite a strong performance from the Spurs' roster. Coach Mitch Johnson highlighted the team's defensive improvements in the second half but acknowledged the need for consistency across all four quarters. The loss marks the Spurs' continued challenges in the NBA Cup, as they have yet to secure a victory in the competition's history. Looking ahead, the Spurs will face the Dallas Mavericks in a back-to-back game tonight.
