Halfway through another mostly miserable season, the young Los Angeles Lakers have put together their longest winning streak of the year. Brandon Ingram scored 26 points, Lonzo Ball added 18 and the Lakers held off the short-handed San Antonio Spurs 93-81 on Thursday night for their third straight victory. "We responded like a team that's failed a lot, and kind of got sick of it," Walton said. AILING SPURSLeonard missed his third straight game with a left shoulder strain, and Parker sat after spraining his right ankle in Sacramento on Monday. Veteran Rudy Gay also sat out his seventh straight game with right heel bursitis, leaving the Spurs short-handed in the last stop on a three-game trip down the West Coast.
