After Action Report
The Warriors survived the Lakers 102-97. Warriors' scorers couldn't be contained. The Warriors couldn't shake the cold spell; Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
