After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Spurs blew the doors off the Lakers 117-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
