After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers handled the Spurs 111-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; shots just aren't falling for the Spurs lately. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
