After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Heat 124-113. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
