After Action Report
The Warriors squeaked past the Lakers 109-106. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. Warriors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
