After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers took care of the Grizzlies 126-113. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
