After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Nets 135-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
