Reaves scores 30 points, Doncic just misses triple-double in Lakers' 125-109 win over Spurs

Vanderbilt, Sochan tossed after tussle in 4th quarter

Dorian Finney-Smith added 15 points while hitting four 3-pointers for the Lakers, who extended their home winning streak to eight games with back-to-back victories over Phoenix and San Antonio following four consecutive losses on the road.

Stephon Castle had 23 points and Devin Vassell scored 15 of his 17 in the first half for the Spurs, who have lost five of seven.

While Doncic struggled through a 5-for-20 shooting performance, Reaves hit five 3-pointers and added seven rebounds and six assists to dominate a game rescheduled from Jan. 11 after wildfires devastated parts of Southern California.

Jarred Vanderbilt shoved San Antonio's Jeremy Sochan in the chest after Sochan threw the ball at Vanderbilt following a foul with 6:27 to play. Both reserves were ejected.

Bronny James played the final 2:30, and he hit a 3-pointer that set off a wild standing ovation from Lakers fans who had been chanting his name earlier.

Takeaways Spurs: Defense was a problem for the third game since De'Aaron Fox was shut down for the season. The Lakers made 48.9% of their shots, including 19 3-pointers.

Lakers: LeBron James missed his fifth straight game, but balanced scoring is keeping them competitive amid a brutal stretch of 20 games in five weeks.

Key moment Reaves scored nine points in 3 1/2 minutes while the Lakers took a 28-point lead in the third. San Antonio responded with a 15-0 run, but never got the deficit to single digits.

Key stat With James sidelined, Reaves has scored at least 28 points in four consecutive games. He only reached 28 points four times in the Lakers' first 63 games this season.

Up next The Spurs host the Knicks on Wednesday, and the Lakers host the Nuggets.
