After Action Report
The Lakers stunned the Celtics 120-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. 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. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
