Lakers player grades from thrilling overtime win vs. Spurs

The Los Angeles Lakers won a thriller in overtime against the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday, 125-121.

Los Angeles entered the game without LeBron James because of an ankle injury he suffered in the previous contest against the Memphis Grizzlies, so Malik Monk got the start.

Both teams were neck-and-neck after the first half, but the Spurs blew open the doors in the third quarter by outscoring L.A. 35-24. Lonnie Walker IV caught fire from downtown, and Devin Vassell made a one-legged three at the end of a shot clock that encapsulated how hot San Antonio was.

The Lakers trailed by 12 points in the fourth quarter, but a run sparked by Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis, with timely baskets from Monk and Austin Reaves, forced overtime.

Westbrook’s driving ability came in handy down the stretch, and the Lakers escaped with a win to go 2-2 on the season.

Here’s how the Lakers graded individually:
