After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Lakers held off the Nets 112-104. Lakers' offense had its way with the Nets. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · 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.
