Dalton Knecht showcased his skills in the California Classic, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a thrilling comeback victory against the San Antonio Spurs. After a slow start in the tournament, Knecht rallied to score 25 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter, helping his team overcome a 14-point deficit. His shooting performance included 9-of-18 from the field and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc, alongside eight rebounds in 29 minutes of play.

While Knecht shone, teammate Cole Swider struggled with his shooting, contributing key defensive stats instead. Darius Bazley was another standout for the Lakers, scoring 27 points with an impressive shooting percentage, further solidifying his potential in the summer league. Up next for the Lakers is a matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, where they hope to continue their momentum.
