After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Lakers blew the doors off the Nets 128-98. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
