Spurs top Lakers despite streak's end, win 4-1.

A highlight reel double-clutch windmill dunk by Russell Westbrook and a costly turnover by the Spurs spelled doom for the 49-game win streak (extended to 55 if you count the Playoffs), as the Lakers' powerful performance eeked out a 114-118 victory in Game 3. A similar showdown ensued in Game 4, with LA eager to tie the series, but Dejounte Murray made a clutch layup over the defense of Anthony Davis & Dwight Howard to take a 3-1 lead back to Texas. Russell Westbrook got a shot off at the buzzer to tie the game, but missed, ending the season for the Lakers in five games.
