Print Edition
DEMAR DeRozan finished with 30 points and 12 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs overcame a 35-point performance from LeBron James to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 110-106 on Saturday.
DeRozan nailed a clutch fadeaway jumper with 16 seconds remaining to help secure the Spurs’ second victory over the Lakers in a week.
DeRozan also had eight assists while Rudy Gay scored 16 points and LaMarcus Aldridge had 15 for the Spurs, who improved to 3-2 on the season.
Kyle Kuzma finished with 15 points and Lance Stephenson added 14 points in the loss.
The Lakers shot 53 percent in the first half and led by as many as 14 points.
“The team is going to grow and get better,” said James, who also had 11 rebounds. “We are going to use these experiences for the better.
“I think we played very, very well besides that 4 or 5 minutes in the third quarter where we offensively stalled.”
James extended his career points total to 31,202 to pass Dirk Nowitzki for sixth place on the NBA all-time scoring list.
The Spurs seized their first lead of the contest at 93-91 early in the fourth quarter, then extended it to eight points before James answered with a couple of baskets and an assist to cut it to just one, 106-105.
Elsewhere on Saturday, it was: Celtics 109, Pistons 89; Bucks 113, Magic 91; Heat 120, Trail Blazers 111; Grizzlies 117, Suns 96; 76ers 105, Hornets 103; Pacers 119, Cavaliers 107; Bulls 97, Hawks 85; and Jazz 132, Pelicans 111.
