After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Warriors 118-98. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
