The Sports Report: Lakers Hold Off Spurs to Win
The Lakers nearly lost their grip at the end, but Luka Doncic's 35 points led them to a narrow 118-116 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.
Game Highlights
Broderick Turner reports that the excitement in Crypto.com Arena was driven by the performances of generational talents Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyana. The NBA stars attracted even some members of the World Series champion Dodgers to watch the game live.
However, the match was marred by numerous fouls, making it less enjoyable to watch. Doncic picked up his fifth foul in the fourth quarter, and Wembanyama eventually fouled out.
"Doncic produced 35 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds in leading the Lakers to their fifth straight win with a 118-116 victory over the Spurs."
Despite a costly turnover late in the game that gave the Spurs a chance to tie, the Lakers held on for the win.
Dodgers' Offseason Outlook
Jack Harris notes the Dodgers are already focused on a potential World Series three-peat next season and beginning their winter roster-building process.
The core of the 2026 Dodgers is expected to remain stable, with Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Will Smith leading the offense. Meanwhile, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, and Tyler Glasnow will anchor the pitching rotation.
"For the most part, the core of the 2026 Dodgers shouldn’t change much."
This continuity reflects the team's confidence in its championship-caliber lineup.
Author's Summary
The Lakers narrowly defeated the Spurs thanks to Doncic's outstanding performance, while the Dodgers are preparing to defend their World Series title with minimal roster changes.
