After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers pulled away from the Nets 107-93. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
