LA Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs Game Summary

The LA Lakers took on the San Antonio Spurs at the Chase Center in San Francisco as part of the 2025 California Classic. It's the final day of the first part of the 2025 NBA Summer League, with Bronny James taking center stage for the Lakers.

Lakers coach Beau Levesque used a starting five featuring James, DJ Steward, Dalton Knecht, Cole Swider and Sam Mennenga. The Lakers were looking to finish the California Classic strong with a win heading into the NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Spurs coach Mike Noyes' starting lineup consisted of Harrison Ingram, David Jones Garcia, Carter Bryant, Riley Minix and Nathan Mensah. Number two pick Dylan Harper didn't play for the third consecutive game, while Bryant seemed to have recovered from his minor injury from their opener.

The San Antonio Spurs weren't in full control of the game from the get-go, but they were playing much better than the LA Lakers. They had a 14-point lead at one point, including an 11-point advantage with less than four minutes left in regulation.

The Lakers went on a 15-5 run to finish the game after Dalton Knecht caught fire, scoring 13 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter. Knecht was looking for the go-ahead shot with less than 15 seconds to go, but he missed the layup. Darius Bazley was in the right place, hitting an empathic putback jam for the lead.

Knecht could be a solid contributor for the Lakers if they don't trade him, while Bazley has certainly earned a potential spot for training camp.
