After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Cavaliers 128-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
