After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Lakers buried the 76ers 112-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
