After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Heat 114-91. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
