After Action Report

The Warriors handled the Lakers 112-94. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
