After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the Nets 97-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
