After Action Report

The Lakers survived the Cavaliers 117-115 in overtime. Lakers' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
