After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Warriors 118-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
