After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs blew the doors off the Lakers 120-91. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed.
