After Action Report

The Warriors rolled past the Lakers 122-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Warriors cashed in. The Warriors ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Warriors' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
