After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Warriors handled the Lakers 116-98. Warriors' offense had its way with the Lakers. Warriors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
