After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the Spurs 96-83. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
