After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Spurs 104-78. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Spurs are in a full-on tailspin. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
