The Lakers are back at Staples Center tonight looking to seal home court advantage as they trail the San Antonio Spurs 2-0. The Spurs have been playing great basketball and they look to put the Lakers in a possible sweep first round position. Check out the highlights for tonights game.
1st Quarter
Showing some of that youth and athleticism, @dariusmorris4 followed a Gasol miss with a put-back layup. Fans into it here at Staples.

Lakers guards are 1-7 from the field. Inexperience a factor here. Earl Clark takes the baseline and scores however. Lakers need to convert.

Tim Duncan doing vintage Tim Duncan things, dropping 8 pts and 4 rbs in the 1st. @spurs lead @lakers 30-18 on ESPN. Gasol has 6-7.

WHAT A PASS FROM DARIUS MORRIS
— Phillip Barnett (@imsohideouss) April 27, 2013
There’s a reason they call him the BIG Fundamental. Tim Duncan has 22 points on 11/14 shooting after 3. The @spurs lead the @lakers 85-63.
