After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Spurs 114-96. Lakers' offense had its way with the Spurs. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
