After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Nets 127-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
