After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Cavaliers 103-86. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
