After Action Report
In Golden State, the Lakers outlasted the Warriors 126-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
