After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the Spurs 114-112. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
