After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Lakers 131-127 in overtime. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
