The rookie sensation, Victor Wembanyama, showed flashes of talent for the Spurs but fell short in his attempt to lead a comeback. Davis set the tone early by attacking Wembanyama and stretching the Spurs’ defense with his perimeter shooting. However, the Lakers faced a challenge in the fourth quarter as the Spurs made a late push, forcing Davis to step up once again and secure the win. Despite allowing 45 points in the final quarter, the Lakers managed to hold off the Spurs’ comeback efforts. Davis’s clutch free throws and strong rebounding sealed the victory, highlighting his impact on both ends of the court. The two teams will face each other again on Friday in San Antonio.
