After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Celtics 113-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
