After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Clippers 116-96. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
