The Los Angeles Lakers play the San Antonio Spurs again on Friday night without Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish.

San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama embraced Devin Vassell in a jubilant hug before exhorting the crowd at the Frost Bank Center to rise to their feet in celebration.

Devin Vassell had 36 points, Victor Wembanyama had 13 points and 15 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs snapped an 18-game losing skid, defeating the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers 129-115 on Friday night.

LeBron James has 23 points and 10 rebounds in his return to the lineup, but playing their third game in four nights on top of the absence of Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell and Cam Reddish is too much to overcome in a 129-115 loss.

There can only be four: wins—hopefully more to come!

Sometimes the simplest answer is to score more points.
