The San Antonio Spurs continued their gauntlet of an opening schedule in Week 2, following the same theme as Week 1. Against a star-studded Lakers team that had been struggling to make their awkward conglomerate of current and former All-Stars work, the Spurs used a huge run at the end the third quarter to get out to a double-digit lead, but Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook who was able to play his signature MVP style with LeBron James out led the charge back to force OT and get the win, in no small part thanks to the Spurs inexplicably missing all seven of their fourth quarter free throws.
