After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs pulled away from the Lakers 108-89. Spurs torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
