Western Conference Finals: Spurs eliminate Lakers in Game 7 thriller, 110-102 (4-3).

The Lakers finally succumbed tonight.

In a topsy-turvy series that saw the road team win 5 out of 7 games, the Spurs won 1 of that 7 with a big run in the third quarter, 37-26. They came out strong also, winning the 1st Quarter 28-19. LA fought back to win the second, 31-23. Despite losing the 4th by 22-26, the Spurs held on for the disappointing victory that broke the hearts of Lakers fans packed inside the STAPLES center.

Anthony Davis commanded the Lakers with 32 points, 18 rebounds. LeBron James had 25 points, 7 assists. JaVale McGee had 11 points, 16 rebounds. LA didn't get much help beyond that, with Green, KCP & Rondo tallying a combined 19 points. On the other side, San Antonio's brightest Spurs stepped up big in the clutch: Brandon Ingram had 28 points with 9 rebounds and 2 steals, hitting four threes & Dejounte Murray had 26 points, 6 rebounds & 9 assists with 3 steals. Joe Harris came through again, with 15 points. J.R. Smith had 11, Mozgov had 15 rebounds & 5 blocks.

The Sting: LA shot 13-22 from the free throw line, ultimately losing by 8 points. San Antone buried 15 three-pointers, to just 5-17 by LA. Both teams dished 28 assists, but LA had 11 turnovers.

"This is the toughest challenge that I can recall us facing since I joined the Spurs," Brandon Ingram said after the game. "To defeat my former team like this, in a game 7, man--it feels good."

The Shot: Dejounte Murray hit the biggest shot, a corner 3PTer during a broken play as the shot clock went low, 2:45 left in regulation, that put the Spurs up 99-94.

Mozgov would block McGee on the other end, and Ingram would get fouled to make two free throws, 101-94. Mozgov would come through big, hitting the elbow jumper over McGee, making it 103-96. KCP would miss an open 3PT attempt off a solid screen by McGee, with Mozgov fingering the ball away from AD on the glass, leading to Bradley's layup, 105-96. Danny Green whiffed on a corner 3PTer, then Ingram drove to the basket, dishing it back out to Bradley on the left wing for the 3-PT dagger.
