After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the 76ers 115-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
