After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Cavaliers demolished the Lakers 104-77. Cavaliers torched the Lakers on the offensive end. The Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
