The 7-foot-1 inch center swatted a layup attempt from Orlando's Moe Wagner as time expired Wednesday, allowing the Spurs to hang onto a 114-112 road victory. Kornet pointed one hand to the crowd and held the other back as if he were shooting an arrow. Hugs and pats on the back from his San Antonio teammates followed. He beamed with pride after making the clutch play.
Luka Doncic had 35 points, 13 assists, nine rebounds and five steals, and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied in the fourth quarter before surviving a frantic final second for their fifth consecutive victory, 118-116 over the San Antonio Spurs. The Lakers finished the game on Wednesday night on a 21-10 run, but the Spurs got one last chance when Marcus Smart committed an inbound violation after Kelly Olynyk's putback layup with 1.2 seconds left.
