After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers pulled away from the Clippers 104-88. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
