After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Spurs 116-108. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
