After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Lakers 129-98. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
