After Action Report
The Spurs pulled away from the Lakers 119-101. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Spurs sent shots into the fifth row all night; Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
