After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Clippers 112-108. Lakers' offense had its way with the Clippers. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
