After Action Report

In a track meet, the Lakers snuck past the Warriors 118-117. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
