MVP: Welcome to the starting line-up, Jordan Clarkson. After fighting for minutes, the Lakers rookie guard was thrust into the spotlight, being handed the starting point guard spot hours before tip-off. He answered with 11 points and 4 assists in 29 minutes and was the most active Laker nearly the whole night.
LVP: Jeremy Lin. He looked invisible tonight. I can’t remember one play he made all night long.
Stat of the Night: 31-15. The score after the first quarter, in favor of the Spurs. This set the tone for the rest of the game.
