After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Lakers 108-105. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; the Spurs ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
