After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Pacers 122-98. Lakers' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
