After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Warriors knocked off the Lakers 103-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
