After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers pulled away from the Celtics 114-101. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
