After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs snuck past the Lakers 119-118 in overtime. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. The Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
