After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Cavaliers 108-106. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
