After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Spurs 119-84. Lakers torched the Spurs on the offensive end. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
