After Action Report
The Spurs fended off the Lakers 105-99. Every possession went the Spurs way. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
