SAN ANTONIO (AP) _ Tyler Ennis had 19 points in place of injured starter
D’Angelo Russell and the Los Angeles Lakers never trailed in a 102-95 victory
over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
The Lakers led by as many as 26 points in snapping an eight-game skid against
the Spurs.
Making his first start of the season, Ennis had six assists and only one
turnover to help Los Angeles snap San Antonio’s three-game winning streak.
Russell missed the game after experiencing soreness in his knee during
shootaround.
The Spurs pulled within 100-95 on back-to-back 3s by Kyle Anderson and Davis
Bertans, but David Nwaba’s follow slam shut the door on the rally. Bertans and
Tony Parker led the Spurs with 14 points each.
