After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Lakers 109-89. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
