After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Heat 132-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
