After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Spurs 115-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
