After Action Report

The Lakers rolled past the Celtics 132-111. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
