After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Warriors 112-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
