Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 132 to 119 to advance to the final round against the OKC Thunder! S. Castle lead the show with 30 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists to pace the Spurs and get the win! D. Fox had 20 points and 4 rebounds and continues to help the team with timely buckets and great leadership! H. Barnes 16 points, and L. Kornet 10 points and 8 rebounds continue to be reliable and steady for the Spurs. The Spurs awesome bench unit (8th in the NBA) can be counted on to punish teams in the half and full court with K. Johnson 17 points and 8 rebounds, as well as J. Champagnie 16 points and 7 rebounds and of course rookie sensation D. Harper 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, all playing consistent sound basketball! The Spurs now take on the 24-1 Thunder in the NBA Cup championship!
Lakers: L. Doncic 35 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assist, can be fantastic as well as his own enemy when playing basketball. He has worldly talent and can score with the best of them, but his defense is subpar and his constant complaining about fouls get in his way! L. James 19 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists is still one of the best to play the sport of basketball, his nasty dunk on L. Kornet was a flashback to old times! A. Reaves 15 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists was a thorn in the Spurs side all night long. The Spurs put D. Fox on him and at times A. Reaves had some good moments , but it was not enough to get the victory for the Lakers. This team will be wanting to make a deep run, but the defense and slow pace will determine just how far they get!
