LaMarcus Aldridge
Heading into this contest, LaMarcus Aldridge was in a bit of an offensive slump. Consider that slump busted. Aldridge was very good on the offensive end -- and it all started with his physicality in the post. He tortured the overmatched Lakers bigmen throughout the night utilizing a combination of his brute strength and his deft touch around the rim. When he wasn't scoring buckets or getting to the line, he was passing the ball really well. Defense, well, that was another story. I thought he was good at that end in the first quarter but he struggled to make any sort of impact in the game's final 41 minutes. The Lakers using small lineups was partly to blame, as was the obvious lack of chemistry with his teammates -- not to mention the lack of defensive talent around him. But overall I was very pleased with what I saw from Aldridge. If he can play at that level, the Spurs are going to be okay.
Grade: A-
Summary: Aldridge was a beast on the offensive end in a performance that gives hope that he's still very much a top tier difference-maker in a quickly evolving landscape.

DeMar DeRozan
In the first half, DeMar DeRozan was an offensive marvel. He expertly carved up the Lakers defense in a nearly flawless manner. No matter whether the coaching staff put him in pick-and-rolls, isolations or in the low block, DeRozan created great shots over and over and over again. Unfortunately, DeRozan wore down as the game progressed. After hitting his first five shots, DeRozan missed 18 of his final 24 field goal attempts -- including his final eight shots in the fourth quarter and overtime. He particularly struggled to finish in the lane late in the game. His defense was also never too notable; mostly bad on an individual basis but decent team-wise. That said, it's difficult to be too angry with a man who set a career-high with 14 assists while turning it over only twice in a game-high 45 minutes. Oh, and he had 32 points and was two rebounds shy of a triple double. Not a bad night at the office.
Grade: B+
Summary: DeRozan was great early but faded late, though it's difficult to criticize his overall production

Rudy Gay
Talk about changing one's reputation. Rudy Gay had a very rugged, workmanlike performance in Los Angeles. On offense, he was unselfish and highly efficient. He used his size and length to get shots off the dribble. Gay continued his hot shooting from three-point land, included a monumental trey in overtime with 15 seconds remaining. Defensively, he took the challenge of guarding LeBron James for much of the evening. He had his moments of competency on that end, particularly in the first three quarters. Gay's never going to be a lockdown defender but his effort tonight was impressive and he was one of the few Spurs who was able to offer some semblance of disruption on that end. Further good news for Gay: he looked relatively healthy after hobbling for much of the previous six quarters heading into this contest.
Grade: A-
Summary: Gay put on his blue collar and his marksmanship and intensity were keys to this victory.

Bryn Forbes
Bryn Forbes is another player who deserves credit for at least giving good effort on defense. The results were shaky but Forbes' heart was in the right place. (He's too slow, short and stubby to do too much damage on D, if we're being honest about the situation.) Offensively, Forbes provided invaluable spacing by way of his picture-perfect stroke from the perimeter. His ball-handling was iffy, his decision-making was lacking and it was often painfully clear he's not a point guard . . . but Forbes competed and did about as well as could have been expected given the circumstances.
Grade: B+
Summary: Another solid game for Forbes. The Spurs couldn't have expected much more from their fourth string point guard.
