After Action Report

The Lakers survived the Spurs 110-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
