The @latimessports has this: Anthony Davis left frustrated: Five takeaways from Lakers' loss to Spurs https://t.co/XsBfG8cXXK

They never got a handle on Spurs center LaMarcus Aldridge, a “stretch-five” who scored 28 points, his outside shooting causing the Lakers’ big men all sorts of problems.
The Lakers watched the Spurs settle into easy three-point shots, allowing them to make 45.7% (16 of 35) of them.
“That’s the first time we’ve seen it, but we messed up our coverages. We didn’t do what we’re supposed to do so we couldn’t even tell if our defensive scheme worked for a stretch five,” Davis said. “To start the game, we didn’t do what we’re supposed to do. They ended up getting two threes and I think a midrange jumper. So, we’ve got to be better with our defensive schemes coming out of the gate.” -Anthony Davis.
