After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs demolished the Lakers 116-86. Every possession went the Spurs way. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
