After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the Heat 110-95. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
