Spurs’ playoff push stalls with OT loss to Lakers

Kyle Kuzma bombed in a 3-pointer in the first minute of overtime, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added a clincher three minutes later, helping the Los Angeles Lakers outlast the visiting San Antonio Spurs 122-112 on Wednesday night. Kuzma finished with a game-high 30 points for the Lakers, who began a five-game, season-ending run of games against clubs battling for playoff position in the Western Conference. The loss was costly to the Spurs (45-34), who fell into a tie with Oklahoma City (45-34) for the fifth spot in a tightly bunched Western group.
