After Action Report
The Warriors blew the doors off the Lakers 111-86. Every possession went the Warriors way. Warriors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
