After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers demolished the Spurs 138-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
