After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Heat 116-95. Lakers' positional fit overwhelmed the Heat rotation. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
