After Action Report

The Lakers demolished the Spurs 109-76. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
