After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Cavaliers 121-98. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
