Playing short-handed following a third consecutive loss the night before, the Lakers lean into offense with Knecht replacing Cam Reddish on Wednesday night in San Antonio.

Defensively, they caused havoc and dictated the game with their physicality, pushing Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama away from the paint. Offensively, the ball popped, baskets almost always coming as result of crisp passing, the Lakers recapturing vibes that had evaporated during their three-game losing streak.

The Los Angeles Lakers snapped their three-game losing streak by beating the San Antonio Spurs in the second of a back-to-back.

Knecht (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. Knecht was initially listed as questionable and then bumped to probable, so his availability isn't entirely surprising.
