After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Cavaliers 103-94. Lakers' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
