After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Spurs 125-120 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
