After Action Report
The Lakers handled the Spurs 99-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Spurs. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
