After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the Clippers 115-102. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
