The LA Lakers didn't have their best player available as LeBron James was out of the game vs. Spurs

The Los Angeles Lakers were able to get the win over the San Antonio Spurs without their superstar LeBron James who was out after the Lakers were beaten.

Without LeBron James, Rui Hachimura took his place on the starting five and did a good job, as the Japanese wing came to score 13 points with 7 rebounds and one assist.

Another player who had a good night is Taurean Prince who despite missing six 3-pointers, still scored 4 of them in the game vs Spurs where he got a total of 17 points.

LeBron James' absence has helped D'Angelo Russell to step up his game, and the backcourt has improved now that the team's main guards are D'Lo and Austin Reaves. Dlo scored 12 points with 10 assists.

Austin Reaves continues to impress coming off the bench

Austin Reaves has bounced back in the season thanks to his coming off-the-bench role. The Lakers guard scored 15 points, with 6/10 FG, 3/6 from 3, 4 rebounds and 8 assists.
