Welcome to the daily Laker, a Los Angeles Lakers fan podcast, today is Saturday January 2nd, 2021. This podcast is brought to you by brownlab media and brownlabmedia.com
The Lakers win their second consecutive game against the San Antonio Spurs by clamping down on defense in the 4th quarter and only allowing 18 points. They finished the game on a 9 - 0 run and throughout the game they benefited from leading in offensive rebounds and points in the paint. KCP sprained his left ankle early in the 3rd quarter and did not come back.
Stats for the game: Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 34 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. Lebron James had 26 points 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Dennis Schroder had 15 points. Kyle Kuzma had 11 points off the bench.
A storyline to pay attention to:
An article from USA today titled, "Lakers news: Alex Caruso out at least two more games" states that Alex Caruso is inching his way back into the Lakers lineup after missing the last few games due to the league's health and safety protocols. It is possible that the Lakers will wait until they are done with their current road trip and return home to LA on January 7th to face the Spurs for the last time this season.
