After Action Report
The Warriors buried the Lakers 131-102. Warriors torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
