After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Lakers 99-80. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
