After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers edged the Nets 117-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
