After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs squeaked past the Lakers 116-115. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
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.
