After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Spurs 144-111. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
