Game Story
SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- The red-hot San Antonio Spurs made quick
work of the slumping Los Angeles Lakers with another dominating
performance at home.
Tim Duncan had 21 points and 13 rebounds as the Spurs routed the
Lakers, 108-81, for their sixth straight victory and 11th in a
row at home.
"This wasn't a statement game," Duncan said. "Statements come
during the playoffs. We just want to play well the rest of the
season and let what happens happen. We want to make our
statement in the playoffs."
Duncan recorded his 32nd double-double of the season for the
Spurs, who have won 25 of their last 29 to pull within two games
of the Utah Jazz for the league's best record. The win also
snapped San Antonio's six-game losing streak against the Lakers.
David Robinson added 16 points for San Antonio, which broke it
open by outscoring the Lakers, 36-23, in the second quarter. The
Spurs shot 75 percent (15-of-20) from the field in the period,
racing to a 61-46 halftime lead.
"I've been really pleased with the way the team is playing,"
Robinson said. "It's all about concentration. We go on the road
now and they're all tough on the road. I'm not ready to say
we're the team to beat, but we are playing better."
The Lakers pulled within 11 early in the second half before the
Spurs slowly pulled away en route to their second straight
lopsided win. San Antonio drubbed Dallas, 103-76, at home on
Thursday.
"It was a great team effort," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich
said. "One has to be impressed with their execution at both
ends of the court and with everybody on the court. They reacted
well with each other on defense. We had five guys who trusted
each other."
Shaquille O'Neal had 26 points and 12 rebounds for the Lakers,
who have lost five of their last seven and dropped one game
behind Houston in the battle for the fourth playoff spot and
homecourt advantage in the first round of the postseason.
"They are one of the hottest teams in the league right now,"
O'Neal said. "They're playing better together and tonight they
played with a lot of fire and intensity."
The defeat matched the Lakers' worst loss of the season, a
113-86 setback at Portland on April 13. Los Angeles shot only
44 percent (32-of-73) from the field and scored only 35 points
in the second half.
It marked the second straight game in which the Lakers were held
below 85 points, having suffered an 88-82 defeat at Portland on
Wednesday.
"I was disappointed with the effort," Lakers coach Kurt Rambis
said. "They outworked us. We are not going to improve playing
that way. The 100-percent, all-the-time effort I expect wasn't
there tonight."
Sean Elliott had 14 points and Avery Johnson added 13 for the
Spurs, who improved to 28-4 when leading at the half and 28-6
when taking a lead into the final period.
"We are a defensive team," Johnson said. "We've been playing
defense all year. Even when we were 6-8, we were still playing
defense, we just weren't making shots. Now we are looking for
ways to score a little more and a little easier."
"It's hard to single out one individual," Popovich added. "The
big guys were super. David's defense on Shaq was great and it
set the tone. Tim's offense ... and Sean was great on defense.
The shots that were made on him were tough shots."
The Spurs wore down Los Angeles with their depth, outscoring the
Lakers, 36-13, off the bench. San Antonio also had a 19-4 edge
in fast-break points.
"They're playing very good basketball right now and we're still
in a learning process," Rambis said. "There were a few hustle
plays that they made that really made a difference."
