After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Celtics 106-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
