After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Lakers 104-82. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
