After Action Report

The Lakers outlasted the Celtics 111-102. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
