It's yet another good start for the Spurs at 6-1, and not a single opponent has been able to score 90 points in their last five games, and not a single team has posted more than 45 in the first half in those five games either, averaging just 42.2. The message is the same for this team. The calling card is coming out playing tough defense. The Lakers at 3-2 know they have to bring the defense to have a chance against the good teams. The Lakers are 36-19 against the first-half UNDER when playing a team that outscores the opponent by at least three points a game.
