Jake LaRavia fouls off Victor Vembanyama’s assignment
Call the San Antonio Spurs star big man Victor Vembanyama the cook, because he cooked Los Angeles Lakers the whole game Tuesday night at the Cripto.com Arena in Los Angeles. And there may not be a player he roasted more on the field than LA forward Jake LaRavia.
LA’s defense barely touched Wembey. Against Wemby, the Lakers have as much success with him as they do with a wet paper bag. LaRavia can attest to that, as he needed just 18 minutes to foul out after spending most of the time on the floor and being thrown at Vembanjam.
Just look at this.

The Lakers are missing several players, including regular starters LeBron James, Luka Doncic, DeAndre Ayton and Austin Reeves, Vembanyama and The Spurs were able to pour it on early.
By the end of the first quarter, San Antonio had already scored 47 points to just 30 from Los Angeles. At the end of the first half, Vembanyama already had 37 points on 12-for-17 shooting from the field and 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. He really has his own way against the heavily underdog Lakers.
Although he scored 10 points on 3-for-6 shooting, LaRavia was a game-worst minus-31 as Vembanyama and company broke away early, turning the rest of the contest into a long garbage time.
As things stand at the time of this writing, the Spurs are on track to win their fifth straight regular-season contest against the Lakers. San Antonio entered the Lakers game having won two of their first three meetings with the Purple & Gold.
