After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Spurs 99-87. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
