After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Lakers outlasted the Spurs 123-117. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
