After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Cavaliers 124-104. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
