"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.

Currently, San Antonio is at -110 to cover. MoneylineLos Angeles Lakers: -150San Antonio Spurs: +130The over/under for the matchup is 219. The Spurs are averaging 109. 9 points per game while the Lakers are averaging 110. As I said before, both of these teams are desperate for a bounce-back win. While expectations for their seasons are very different, there's still plenty to play for while they both look to tread water without crucial pieces.
Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill each took 13 shots, scoring 19 and 10 points respectively. Hill managed a double-double by hauling in 11 rebounds. Jeremy Lin was the only other Laker in double figures with 15. On the other end, the Spurs wore the Lakers down with their typically balanced attack. They had eight players score at least seven, and seven players score at least nine. Cory Joseph led the way with 14 points. Tim Duncan went for a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. The Spurs will continue their road trip with a 10 p. m.
It's become clear in the early season that Jakob Poeltl is the second-most consistent player in Silver and Black so far, and that probably won't change unless Derrick White can wake up offensively. Because of his absence, I find it hard to pick in favor of the Spurs, who have a slim margin for error to win games even with a full roster.

Spurs Game Today: Spurs vs Lakers Odds, Prediction, Pick, TV for Nov. 14Sunday afternoon's showdown will feature two teams desperately wanting to prove something to themselves. The San Antonio Spurs are looking for their fifth win in 13 games after their third loss to the Mavericks in as many tries. Beyond showcasing the glaring hole the Spurs have at center without Jakob Poeltl, the loss showed the Spurs' defense still needs a lot of work. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers will likely be fired up after suffering an embarrassing loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves -- one in which they were outscored 40-12 in the third quarter. The effort led to the Staples Center crowd booing them early in the fourth quarter, which should lead to a much more inspired effort against San Antonio. The latest odds from WynnBet have the Spurs as 2. 5 point underdogs against the Lakers.
