After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Grizzlies 125-95. Lakers torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it

- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
