As the Spurs were in limbo leading up to their game against Lakers due to the wildfires, Harrison Barnes delivered a genuine message.

The game will honor the strength and spirit of Los Angeles as relief and recovery efforts begin for those impacted by the recent wildfires.

On top of the mismatch on both ends, too, the Spurs have tumbled down the ranks in rebounding rate as the Lakers have climbed out of the gutter — so if San Antonio continues to struggle for offense it likely won’t be afforded many second chances.
