San Antonio Spurs vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Head To Head Stats
The Spurs and Lakers have had some pretty thrilling matchups recently, full of drama and tight finishes. This season, they went head-to-head on November 15, and it was a nail-biter. The Spurs fought hard, but the Lakers came out on top with a 120-115 win, stretching their head-to-head streak to two games.
Looking back at last season, the Lakers took two out of three games. The Spurs had a standout moment on December 15, pulling off an impressive 129-115 win that snapped the Lakers’ five-game streak. But that spark didn’t last. Just two days earlier, the Lakers had eked out a 122-119 win, and they kept their momentum going with another tight victory on February 23, 123-118.
Things didn’t go so well for the Spurs in the 2022-23 season, either. The Lakers were unstoppable, taking all four matchups in style. They completely ran away with a 123-92 blowout on November 20 and then turned up the offense in a crazy 143-138 shootout on November 26. But if you roll back to the 2021-22 season, things look a bit different. The Spurs had their moments, picking up two big wins—a commanding 138-110 victory in L.A. on December 23 and a solid 117-110 win at home on March 7. Every time these teams meet, it’s a battle. This rivalry always keeps fans on the edge of their seats.
