After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Nets 132-103. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
