After Action Report
The Spurs upended the Lakers 100-96. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
