After Action Report

The Lakers handled the 76ers 109-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. 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. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
