After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Spurs 117-85. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
