The Lakers pulled away from the Cavaliers 117-98. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
