After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Lakers 122-121. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs sent shots into the fifth row all night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Spurs · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
