The Los Angeles Lakers are back at home to take on their West coast rivals of the San Antonio Spurs. The Lakers are coming off two tough losses to the Grizzlies and Pelicans, so they are looking to bounce back and get a much-needed win. The Lakers starting five included Jeremy Lin, Kobe Bryant, Wesley Johnson, Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill. Check out the highlights:
First Quarter
LAL's first bucket tonight against SAS comes off a pretty crossover from Jeremy Lin on Tony Parker, and a driven finish at the rim.

Second Quarter
Look for screen/roll action between Lin and Davis to start the 2nd Q. Worked well in the preseason w/2nd unit (Nash was starting).
