After Action Report

In Golden State, the Warriors blew the doors off the Lakers 116-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Warriors sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Warriors came in with something to prove after a loss. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
