After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Lakers 128-120. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
