After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Warriors 112-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
