After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Spurs 140-84. Lakers torched the Spurs on the offensive end. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
