After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs buried the Lakers 123-89. Spurs' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
