After Action Report

The Lakers buried the Warriors 132-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
