After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 120-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
