Western Conference Finals: Spurs return the favor to crush Lakers, 86-113. (2-2)

The Spurs redeemed an awful performance at home in Game 3, with a fantastic effort to win back the home crowd and even the series. They went up by 13 early, leading 16-30 after quarter one. Defensive pressure was tremendous, a far cry from Game 3, forcing a backcourt violation and only 13 assists by the Lakers. The Spurs went up 54-29 soon, as P.J. Tucker hit a three-pointer, with Brandon Ingram playing wonderfully.

Timofey Mosgov was a terror down low, starting in place of Jarrett Allen whose play has been less than desired so far, as 8 points & 9 rebounds were chipped in by the Russian giant. He swatted James, stole the ball at one point also. P.J. Tucker hit a buzzer-beater to end the 3rd quarter also, and Jeremy Lin hit two three-pointers. J.R. Smith had a "no hard feelings" moment, hitting a dagger over LeBron James from way deep. Joe Harris splashed one next, as the Spurs led a towering 68-33 at halftime, eventually going up by forty 84-44 late, leading 62-92 after the third quarter.
