After Action Report

The Lakers demolished the Warriors 113-89. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
