Green and Kawhi Leonard each had two blocks in the first 4 minutes and Tim Duncan picked up two blocks over the following 4 minutes. Struggling to hit jumpers, the Lakers’ drives into the paint proved just as formidable. Los Angeles was shooting 17 per cent from the field 2 minutes into the second quarter, going 4 for 24, and finished the game at 34 per cent. He hit back-to-back 3s, giving San Antonio a 70-38 lead 3 minutes into the third. Green scored all of his points on 3s, going 5 for 8 from beyond the arc. We did just that from the go and got a lead and stuck with it." "We’ve beat some pretty good teams here in the last couple of games and we came in here, we had to respect them. "Great hands in the lanes, good defence, good rotations," Duncan said. Especially when you’re a franchise like the Lakers, you don’t expect to have a season like this."īaynes’ running, one-handed dunk on Wesley Johnson gave San Antonio its largest lead at 86-51 lead with 3 minutes remaining in the third. "I agree it’s one of the worst seasons as far as collective results and record. "This season has been rough in many, many ways and many aspects, and disappointing," Gasol said. And it came eight days after their worst loss of this season, 142-94 to the Clippers. The Lakers suffered their most lopsided defeat to the Spurs since a 135-103 loss on Feb. Pau Gasol had 18 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes and Jodie Meeks had 15 points for Los Angeles (22-44), which has lost five of six. "That is probably the best we have seen all year." "They are playing really, really, really well," D’Antoni said. San Antonio (49-16) maintained the league’s best record ahead of Indiana and Oklahoma City, who are both 48-17. At this time of the season, if we can have games like that, it’s great." "We want to keep our legs fresh - big picture, the playoffs. Ginobili and Tony Parker each had seven points in 14 minutes and Tim Duncan had nine points in 15 minutes. Marco Belinelli and Aron Baynes scored 12 points each, Cory Joseph added 11 points and Jeff Ayres had 10 points. The Spurs had five reserves score in double-figures, led by Matt Bonner’s 13 points and 10 rebounds. San Antonio never trailed after the opening four minutes, allowing coach Gregg Popovich to limit his starters and Manu Ginobili to an average of 17 minutes. It certainly was unlike the classic down-to-the-wire showdowns the teams have had during the last several years. We just did not have the intensity or wherewithal to hang in there. They are going to keep moving the ball until they find something good. It might be eight times you have to stop something in the half court. "To be able to guard them, you have to make multiple efforts. "They just took it to us," Los Angeles coach Mike D’Antoni said. Danny Green had 15 points and the Spurs won their ninth straight, defeating the Lakers 119-85 on Friday night for their largest victory over Los Angeles.
