After Action Report

The Lakers handled the Bobcats 109-99. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
