After Action Report
The Warriors fended off the Lakers 104-97. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Warriors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
