After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers handled the Nets 113-103. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
