Austin Reaves, who was averaging 30.3 points, had 13 points on 4-for-12 shooting for the Lakers. Los Angeles had scored at least 116 points in every game this season, but they didn’t get close after shooting 40.3 percent from the field.
The Lakers played without LeBron James once again although for the first time this season he practised on Wednesday. He got some reps with the team’s G League affiliate earlier in the day in California.
Los Angeles could have used another star against Oklahoma City.

In the closing seconds of the third quarter, Gilgeous-Alexander drove to the hoop, then fired a behind-the-back pass to Joe, who nailed a three-pointer as time expired in the period to give Oklahoma City a 100-64 lead.

The Spurs had three alley-oop dunks in building a 16-point lead in the second quarter, and the 7-foot-4 (2.2-metre) Wembanyama didn’t throw any down although he did assist on one to Castle. Luke Kornet had the other two dunks on assists from Castle and Devin Vassell.
Wembanyama blocked Draymond Green’s 25ft (7.6-metre) three-point attempt early in the opening quarter, leaping from the free-throw line to get to the ball. The block extended Wembanyama’s streak to 96 straight games with at least one block.
Golden State improved to 1-1 on a six-game trip. San Antonio have four games remaining on their homestand.
