After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Lakers blew the doors off the Spurs 130-107. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
