"The Lakers were missing four regular starters after center Deandre Ayton was a late scratch due to knee soreness and stars Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves were ruled out earlier in the day.

Victor Wembanyama scored 40 points in 26 minutes and grabbed 12 rebounds, producing a rare 40-point double-double in very limited minutes.

Wembanyama scored 25 points before leaving late in the first quarter and finished 13-of-20 from the floor and 4-of-6 from three-point range, helping secure a comfortable win.
