After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Spurs 136-83. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; shots just aren't falling for the Spurs lately. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
