After Action Report

The Lakers squeaked past the Grizzlies 122-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
