After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers outlasted the Heat 121-110. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
