After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers rolled past the Celtics 111-87. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
