After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Spurs 111-107. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
