After Action Report
The Spurs downed the Lakers 111-96. Spurs torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
