After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat rolled past the Lakers 124-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
