After Action Report
In Golden State, the Warriors stunned the Lakers 129-74. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Warriors stayed locked in; Warriors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
