After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the Warriors 114-113. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
