After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the Nets 121-103. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
