After Action Report
The Warriors fended off the Lakers 99-93. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. The Warriors carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
