After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Warriors 124-87. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Warriors' outside barrage was a constant threat. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
