After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Cavaliers 109-103. Lakers' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
