After Action Report

The Lakers downed the Celtics 112-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
