After Action Report
In a track meet, the Spurs snuck past the Lakers 115-111. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
