After Action Report
The Warriors rolled past the Lakers 150-114. The breakneck pace played right into Warriors' hands. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Warriors. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
