After Action Report
The Lakers held off the Warriors 108-101. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
