After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Spurs 115-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
