After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Lakers 130-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
