After Action Report
The Spurs downed the Lakers 128-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
