After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Warriors 103-102. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
