After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Spurs 133-107. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
