Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and produce bonus opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Spurs rank 9thworst in in the league while playing away from home with just 10.2 offensive boards per game this year.Over the last 25 games when they are the visiting team, their opposition has captured 11.2 offensive boards per game (highest in the league) vs. the Lakers (retaining possessions that can spark added opportunities for offense).This year when they are on the road, the opposition's starting SFs have attempted 1.6 free throws per game (14th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, finding it difficult to get to the charity stripe.
