After Action Report
In Golden State, the Lakers held off the Warriors 120-111. Lakers' offense had its way with the Warriors. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
