After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Nets 129-95. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
