After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Celtics 132-96. Lakers torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
