After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Lakers 96-90. Every possession went the Spurs way. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
