After Action Report
The Spurs handled the Lakers 114-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
