After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Nets 127-82. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Nets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
