After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Celtics 119-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
