After Action Report

The Lakers squeaked past the Warriors 118-113. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
