Western Conference Finals: Spurs hold off Lakers, 107-115, after LeBron suffers injury (4-1).

After some good fortune ended the 3rd Quarter with a 10-PT lead for San Antonio, a huge double-clutch 3PTer by Evan Fournier lifted the Spurs over that volatile line of momentum, transforming a perceivably-surmountable 76-86 deficit into an even harder feat for the Lakers. This crucial scoring swing was the only contrast throughout the tense battle, with the Spurs winning the 1st, 25-20, but then the Lakers winning the 2nd, 29-24.

A nasty turn of events unfolded soon thereafter: as the Spurs rejoiced in the new 13-PT lead, LeBron James suffered a dislocated shoulder. The training staff attempted remedies, but the writing was on the wall for the Lakers as the Spurs were able to maintain control of the lead and master the clock to win.

Before his injury, James had 22 points. Klay Thompson had 19 points, with Davis scoring 18 points & 12 rebounds. Andre Drummond had 22 rebounds with 13 points & 3 blocks. Dejounte Murray scored 26 points with 8 assists. Brandon Ingram had 23 points. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 18, with VanVleet dropping 16. They shot 8-15 together from 3PT territory.

The Spurs led by as much as 19 points, with LA having 16 turnovers.
