The Spurs welcome the Lakers to the Frost Bank Center, on behalf of the NBA Cup, in Group B of the Western Conference. San Antonio started the season very well with 6 wins in 12 games. An excellent start considering the squad. In the last game, Victor Wembanyama completely exploded by scoring 50 points. A career record for the Frenchman. The arrival of Chris Paul energized the attack, bringing both precision and experience, and making the game more fluid. We are already seeing better collective cohesion, with automatisms strengthening on the ground. However, the question remains whether Spurs will be able to maintain this pace throughout the season, especially with a squad that seems quite limited. Progress is visible, but the road remains long for San Antonio.
Los Angeles has had a mixed start to the season, with 7 wins and 4 losses in 11 games. Anthony Davis displays a level of play worthy of an MVP, on which the team largely relies. However, the Lakers are still struggling to find real cohesion, particularly on defense. The next few weeks will be decisive to see if JJ Redick’s players manage to gain momentum and establish themselves as serious contenders in the Western Conference.
