Becky Hammon last night became the first woman to lead an NBA team on the field in history after the dismissal of Gregg Popovich in the second quarter of the game between Spurs and Lakers.
He would have preferred a victory, which instead was the birthday present to LeBron James, who on the occasion played the 1000th game with at least 10 consecutive career points.
Dennis Schroder and Wesley Matthews break the initial balance and Los Angeles closes the first quarter ahead 27-35. The exit of Popovich does not change the trend of the race at the interval 53-63. In the second half, the Lakers run away to an advantage of 20 points, Murray has an interesting streak to reduce the gap and not recover.
San Antonio – LA Lakers 107-121. Boxscore: 29 Murray, 23 DeRozan, 12 Mills, 11 Walker IV per gli Spurs (2-2); 26 James, 21 Schroder, 20 Davis, 18 Wesley, 10 Harrell e Caldwell-Pope per i Lakers (3-2).
