After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Spurs 105-89. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
