After Action Report
The Spurs edged the Lakers 115-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
