Gregg Popovich: 'San Antonio Spurs played porous defense'

Gregg Popovich has said that the San Antonio Spurs' defense was "porous" during the first half of their game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Spurs were just one point ahead at half time in their 125-109 win, which gave them their 11th victory in a row.

The coach told reporters: "Probably the only thing I liked is that they hung in there. I thought we played really porous defense.

"I thought a lot of that was because LA was very aggressive. They were in attack mode, and I don't think we adjusted to it until maybe the end of the third quarter. From that point, I thought our defense was very good."

The Spurs sit top in the Western Conference, two wins clear of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
