After Action Report
The Spurs fended off the Lakers 112-106. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
