After Action Report

The Lakers squeaked past the Nets 94-89. Lakers' offense had its way with the Nets. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
