Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Harrison Barnes scored 19 points, Julian Champagnie scored 18, Devin Vassell added 14 and Stephon Castle contributed 10 points for San Antonio, which snapped its best four-game winning streak of the season.

Vassell returned after a five-game absence due to a knee injury.

The Lakers led by 11 points at halftime and 15 points after three quarters. San Antonio got within 99-89 on a Castle layup with eight minutes left before Los Angeles all but clinched the game with a 7-0 win, capped by back-to-back shots from James.

Los Angeles extended its lead to 15 points when Hachimura made two free throws at 5:03 of the second period.

Vassell’s layup with 2:19 left in the second brought the Spurs to within 51-41. Vassell then hammered home a putback dunk with 24 seconds left, but Reaves answered with a 3-pointer at the buzzer, giving the Lakers a 58-47 lead at halftime.
