The Lakers ran roughshod over the Spurs 142-111. Lakers torched the Spurs on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
