After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Lakers 130-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
