After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Lakers 131-101. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
