After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Cavaliers 98-82. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
