After Action Report
The Lakers downed the Nets 96-80. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Lakers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
