After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Spurs pulled away from the Lakers 109-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
