After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Lakers blew the doors off the Spurs 119-96. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
