In a track meet, the Lakers pulled away from the Spurs 129-112. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
