After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Nets 108-107. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
