After Action Report
The Lakers downed the Celtics 102-88. Lakers' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
