Buddy Hield explodes for career-high 51 points as Spurs crush Lakers.


After a first quarter that saw them trailing by 13, the Spurs responded ferociously thanks to Buddy Hield, who absolutely shot the lights out, splashing in an NBA regular season record of FIFTEEN THREE-POINTERS for a career-high 51 points.

The Spurs won the second quarter, 45-20, cinching down on defense to cause 20 turnovers by the Lakers. LA only hit 5-16 three-pointers, as the Spurs lead grew to 35. San Antonio, mostly due to Hield, made a team-high 24 shots from deep, en route to a 96-131 thrashing for a season series sweep of 4-0.

In the huge win, Brandon Ingram scored 18th, Trey Burke scored 15 and hit a trio from long range, with Porter, VanVleet & Murray combining for 30 points.
