导出博客文章LOS ANGELES -- The improved Los Angeles Lakers play host to the San Antonio
Spurs in a matchup of two of the NBAs top offensive teams and best defensive
clubs on Friday night at Staples Center.The Spurs (9-3) are riding a four-game
winning streak after a 110-105 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday
night. Ex-Laker Pau Gasol led the way for San Antonio with a season-high 24
points and nine rebounds. Gasol will face his former team for the first time in
a Spurs uniform.The Lakers (7-5), who have won three of their last four games,
will face an obvious and early challenge against the Spurs, annually one of the
leagues top teams. After dropping consecutive contests to the Los Angeles
Clippers and Houston Rockets at home more than a week ago, the Spurs responded
with consecutive wins over the Detroit Pistons, the Rockets, the Miami Heat and
the Kings.Were connecting with each other better, moving the ball better, said
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who is tied with Larry Brown for seventh on the
all-time NBA list for regular-season coaching victories at 1,098. Were
improving.The Spurs are 6-0 on the road and have captured the last five contests
against the Lakers, going 4-0 last season. Ball movement and contributions from
several players sparked the Spurs recent surge.Forward Kawhi Leonard, again an
early MVP candidate, is averaging 25 points per game and 2.4 steals (third best
in the league). LaMarcus Aldridge is scoring 17.8 points per game and hitting
54.5 percent of his 3-point attempts.Were at our best when we move the ball,
when we make the defense work and we find the open guys, Gasol said. We get much
better shots that way, and it pays off. It creates a flow and energy that
carries over to the defensive end.The Spurs average 101.9 points on offense
(19th in the NBA), but their defense is holding opponents to 96.8 points
(fourth).The Lakers have emerged as one of the leagues top scoring teams. Los
Angeles is ranked second in scoring at 110 points per game, trailing only the
Golden State Warriors (117.4 points).Point guard DAngelo Russell scored a
season-high 32 points and forward Julius Randle contributed a triple-double with
17 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists Wednesday in a 125-118 win over the
Brooklyn Nets.The Lakers bench has been another strength, averaging a
league-best 50.6 points. Reserve guard Lou Williams has been one of the main
sparkplugs with a 15.6 scoring average.They have been great all year, so
obviously were not going to complain about them, but even before the (Brooklyn)
game I said I think the reason that they have so much success is because of how
unselfish they play as a group, Lakers coach Luke Walton said of his
reserves.Both clubs are among the leaders in 3-point shooting percentage. San
Antonio is ranked second at 39.2 percent per game, with Los Angeles is tied for
third with Golden State at 37.4 percent.The Spurs will be without center Dewayne
Dedmon (left knee sprain), who is not traveling with the team.

looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. The first
win out of the way, No. 21 Rhode Island opens play in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off
with a home game against Marist on Monday night at Kingston, R.I.The tournament,
which starts at home sites, has the Rams (1-0) playing at home Wednesday against
local rival Brown. They then shift to the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville,
Conn., to play Cincinnati (26th in the opening poll) before going up against
either No. 1 Duke or Penn State.E.C. Williams, whose 2015-16 season ended 10
minutes into the opening game because of a knee injury, returned to the court
with a 21-point effort on 9-for-12 shooting as URI easily disposed of Dartmouth
84-61 on Friday night.Hassan Martin added the 16th double-double of his college
career with 12 points and 10 rebounds and picked up seven blocked shots.Martin,
who also had a knee injury last season, played just 24 minutes but took a run at
his second career triple-double.Coach (Dan Hurley) had to calm me down, Matthews
said after his return, almost a year to the day of his injury. He called me last
night to let me know just to let it come. It felt good to be back. Ive been
doing this my whole life. Just being comfortable and reading and reacting and
having a good pace are important.Matthews hit a 3-pointer early in the game,
putting him over the 1,000-point career scoring plateau. He also had three
steals in the win.We got separation in the second half, Hurley said. We played a
level of defense that was an elite defense. We held them to 35 percent from the
field and forced 20 turnovers. Thats kind of who we are.The Ramms were picked
second -- to Dayton -- in the preseason Atlantic 10 poll.dddddddddddd They are
ranked at the start of the season for the first time since 1998-99 and ranked
for the first time overall since 2007-08.Obviously, having Matthews and Hassan
healthy is a major factor.Martin began the game as URIs all-time leader in field
goal percentage at 57.3 percent and went 5-for-6 in the opener.In a statistical
oddity, the Rams had 11 assists, 11 turnovers and 11 blocked shot in the
game.Marist, 7-23 last season, didnt have as much fun down at Duke on Friday
night, falling 94-49 in a Hall of Fame game at Durham, N.C.I didnt think we
played at our best, Marist coach Mike Maker said after the game, but Duke had a
lot to do with that.The Red Foxes, 4-16 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
play last season, was tabbed to finish eighth in the 11-team league.They should
be in for another rough ride Monday night.Jared Terrell and Kuran Iverson were
also in double figures with 12 and 11 points, respectively, for Rhode Island,
which led 39-26 at halftime.Stanford Robinson, a transfer from Indiana, played
19 minutes and had seven points, four rebounds, four assists and four steals --
without a turnover -- in his URI debut.Its been several months -- a year for
some -- since weve been on the court, said Hurley. The crowd and all the
anticipation of our first game -- weve all been working so hard. Were just
excited about the season.
