After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Lakers squeaked past the Spurs 134-131 in double overtime. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
