After Action Report
The Spurs snuck past the Lakers 106-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs steamroller is in full effect right now; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
