After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Warriors 97-94. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
