After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Lakers rolled past the Nets 144-95. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
