Playing short-handed following a third consecutive loss the night before, the Lakers lean into offense with Knecht replacing Cam Reddish on Wednesday night in San Antonio.

With LeBron and AD struggling early, rookie Dalton Knecht's 20-point performance leads balanced attack as seven Lakers score in double figures during 119-101 victory over Wembanyama's Spurs.

Defensively, they caused havoc and dictated the game with their physicality, pushing Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama away from the paint. Offensively, the ball popped, baskets almost always coming as result of crisp passing, the Lakers recapturing vibes that had evaporated during their three-game losing streak.

LeBron James registers his sixth triple-double of the season as he helps the Los Angeles Lakers to beat the San Antonio Spurs 119-101.

Anthony Davis had 19 points and 14 rebounds, LeBron James finished with 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs 119-101
