After Action Report
The Warriors ran roughshod over the Lakers 120-97. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Warriors came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
