After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Warriors rolled past the Lakers 112-91. Every possession went the Warriors way. Warriors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
