After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Spurs 102-100. Lakers torched the Spurs on the offensive end. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
