After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Warriors snuck past the Lakers 100-99. Warriors' scorers couldn't be contained. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Warriors came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
