After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Spurs 116-89. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
