After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers pulled away from the Spurs 124-114. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
